We're dividing 71797309 by 994 
Our goal is to divide 71797309 by 994.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 994 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 994

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 71 by 994, we get 0 and a remainder of 71.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 71 to get 71.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 717 / 994

Going ahead to step 3:
994 can be fit into 717 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 717.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 717, we end up with 717.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 717 and continue with: 7179 / 994

Let's proceed to step 4:
994 goes into 7179 7 times with a remainder of 221.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 6958 from 7179 to get 221.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 221, then repeat: 2217 / 994

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 2217 by 994, we get 2 and a remainder of 229.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
Deduct 1988 from 2217 and we're left with 229.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 229, then repeat: 2293 / 994

On to step 6:
The number 994 fits into 2293 2 times, leaving a remainder of 305.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 722.0
The remainder is 305 after subtracting 1988 from 2293.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 305 and continue with: 3050 / 994

On to step 7:
When dividing 3050 by 994, we get 3 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7223.0
Deduct 2982 from 3050 and we're left with 68.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 689 / 994

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 689 by 994, we get 0 and a remainder of 689.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 72230.0
Deduct 0 from 689 and we're left with 689.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6890, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 6890 by 994, we get 6 and a remainder of 926.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72230.6
Subtract 5964 from 6890 to get 926.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
994 can be fit into 9260 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 314.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72230.69
The remainder is 314 after subtracting 8946 from 9260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3140, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 994 fits into 3140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 158.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72230.693
If we subtract 2982 from 3140, we get 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 1580 by 994, we get 1 and a remainder of 586.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72230.6931
The remainder is 586 after subtracting 994 from 1580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 5860 by 994, we get 5 with a remainder of 890.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72230.69315
Subtracting 4970 from 5860 leaves us with 890.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
994 goes into 8900 8 times with a remainder of 948.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72230.693158
If we subtract 7952 from 8900, we get 948.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9480, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 9480 by 994, we get 9 and a remainder of 534.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 72230.6931589
Deduct 8946 from 9480 and we're left with 534.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 5340 by 994, we get 5 with a remainder of 370.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72230.69315895
Deduct 4970 from 5340 and we're left with 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3700, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 72230.69315895 with a balance of 3.7e-07.
