6985981 ÷ 876 
Let's see how many times 876 fits into 6985981.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 876, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 876

Let's proceed to step 2:
69 divided by 876 is 0 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 69, we get 69.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 698 / 876

Let's proceed to step 3:
876 goes into 698 0 times with a remainder of 698.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 698, we end up with 698.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 698, then repeat: 6985 / 876

Going ahead to step 4:
876 can be fit into 6985 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 853.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 6132 from 6985, we get 853.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 853 and continue: 8539 / 876

Step 5:
When dividing 8539 by 876, we get 9 with a remainder of 655.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 79.0
The remainder is 655 after subtracting 7884 from 8539.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 655 and continue: 6558 / 876

Step 6:
6558 divided by 876 is 7 with a remainder of 426.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 797.0
Subtract 6132 from 6558 to get 426.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 426 and continue with: 4261 / 876

On to step 7:
When dividing 4261 by 876, we get 4 with a remainder of 757.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7974.0
Deduct 3504 from 4261 and we're left with 757.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
876 can be fit into 7570 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 562.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7974.8
If we take 7008 away from 7570, we end up with 562.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 5620 by 876, we get 6 and a remainder of 364.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7974.86
Subtract 5256 from 5620 to get 364.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
876 can be fit into 3640 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 136.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7974.864
Subtracting 3504 from 3640 leaves us with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 1360 by 876, we get 1 and a remainder of 484.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7974.8641
Subtract 876 from 1360 to get 484.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 4840 by 876, we get 5 and a remainder of 460.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7974.86415
If we subtract 4380 from 4840, we get 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
876 can be fit into 4600 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 220.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7974.864155
The remainder is 220 after subtracting 4380 from 4600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7974.864155 and a remainder of 2.2e-05.
