We divide 72671459 by 997
Let's see how many times 997 fits into 72671459.

Step 1:
997 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 997

Step 2:
72 divided by 997 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 726 / 997

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 997 fits into 726 0 times, leaving a remainder of 726.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 726, we end up with 726.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 726, then carry on: 7267 / 997

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 7267 by 997, we get 7 and a remainder of 288.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 6979 away from 7267, we end up with 288.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 288 and repeat the process: 2881 / 997

Step 5:
997 can be fit into 2881 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 887.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72.0
Deduct 1994 from 2881 and we're left with 887.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 887 and continue: 8874 / 997

On to step 6:
8874 divided by 997 is 8 with a remainder of 898.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 728.0
Subtract 7976 from 8874 to get 898.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 898 and continue: 8985 / 997

On to step 7:
8985 divided by 997 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7289.0
Deduct 8973 from 8985 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 997

On to step 8:
If we divide 129 by 997, we get 0 and a remainder of 129.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72890.0
Subtract 0 from 129 to get 129.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1290, and continue the process.

Step 9:
997 can be fit into 1290 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 293.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72890.1
Deduct 997 from 1290 and we're left with 293.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2930, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
2930 divided by 997 is 2 with a remainder of 936.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72890.12
If we take 1994 away from 2930, we end up with 936.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 997 fits into 9360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 387.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72890.129
The remainder is 387 after subtracting 8973 from 9360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3870, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 3870 by 997, we get 3 and a remainder of 879.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72890.1293
Subtract 2991 from 3870 to get 879.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
8790 divided by 997 is 8 with a remainder of 814.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72890.12938
Subtracting 7976 from 8790 leaves us with 814.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 8140 by 997, we get 8 with a remainder of 164.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72890.129388
Subtracting 7976 from 8140 leaves us with 164.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

The final result is 72890.129388 with a remainder of 1.64e-05.
