Let's divide 6983917 by 7
Let's see how many times 7 fits into 6983917.

On to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 7, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 7

Step 2:
7 can be fit into 69 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 63 from 69 to get 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 7

Step 3:
68 divided by 7 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 99.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 63 from 68.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 7

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 53 by 7, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 997.0
Deduct 49 from 53 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 7

Step 5:
If we divide 49 by 7, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9977.0
If we take 49 away from 49, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 7

Advancing to step 6:
7 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 99770.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 7

On to step 7:
7 goes into 17 2 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 997702.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 14 from 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
30 divided by 7 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 997702.4
Subtracting 28 from 30 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
7 can be fit into 20 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 997702.42
Deduct 14 from 20 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
60 divided by 7 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 997702.428
Deduct 56 from 60 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 7 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 997702.4285
If we take 35 away from 40, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 12:
50 divided by 7 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 997702.42857
Subtracting 49 from 50 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 10 by 7, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 997702.428571
If we subtract 7 from 10, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 30 by 7, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 997702.4285714
Subtract 28 from 30 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 15:
7 can be fit into 20 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 997702.42857142
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 14 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final result is 997702.42857142 with a remainder of 6e-09.
