We're dividing 687971 by 70 
We want to divide 687971 by 70.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 70, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 70

Step 2:
The number 70 fits into 68 0 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 68, we get 68.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 687 / 70

Step 3:
When dividing 687 by 70, we get 9 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 630 from 687 to get 57.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 579 / 70

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 579 by 70, we get 8 and a remainder of 19.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 98.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 560 from 579.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 197 / 70

Moving on to step 5:
70 can be fit into 197 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 982.0
Subtract 140 from 197 to get 57.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 571 / 70

Going ahead to step 6:
70 can be fit into 571 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9828.0
Subtracting 560 from 571 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
70 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9828.1
If we take 70 away from 110, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
70 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9828.15
If we subtract 350 from 400, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
500 divided by 70 is 7 with a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9828.157
Deduct 490 from 500 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 70, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9828.1571
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 70 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 300 by 70, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9828.15714
Deduct 280 from 300 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
200 divided by 70 is 2 with a remainder of 60.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9828.157142
Subtract 140 from 200 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 600 by 70, we get 8 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9828.1571428
Subtracting 560 from 600 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
70 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9828.15714285
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 350 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9828.15714285 with a remaining 5e-08.
