We look at the division of 397973 by 76 
We want to divide 397973 by 76.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 76 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 76

Let's proceed to step 2:
76 goes into 39 0 times with a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 39, we get 39.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 397 / 76

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 397 by 76, we get 5 with a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 380 from 397 and we're left with 17.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 179 / 76

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 179 by 76, we get 2 with a remainder of 27.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 152 from 179.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 76

Advancing to step 5:
277 divided by 76 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 523.0
Subtracting 228 from 277 leaves us with 49.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 493 / 76

On to step 6:
493 divided by 76 is 6 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5236.0
If we subtract 456 from 493, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 76 fits into 370 4 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5236.4
If we take 304 away from 370, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 76 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5236.48
Subtracting 608 from 660 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 520 by 76, we get 6 and a remainder of 64.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5236.486
If we subtract 456 from 520, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 640 by 76, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5236.4868
Subtract 608 from 640 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
76 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5236.48684
If we subtract 304 from 320, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
76 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5236.486842
Deduct 152 from 160 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
76 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5236.4868421
Subtract 76 from 80 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 76 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5236.4868421
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5236.4868421, and the remainder is 4e-08.
