We divide 61978789 by 999
We want to figure out the number of times 61978789 can be divided by 999.

Moving on to step 1:
999 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 999

Moving on to step 2:
The number 999 fits into 61 0 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 61 to get 61.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 619 / 999

Advancing to step 3:
999 goes into 619 0 times with a remainder of 619.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 619 to get 619.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 619, then repeat: 6197 / 999

Step 4:
6197 divided by 999 is 6 with a remainder of 203.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 5994 from 6197 leaves us with 203.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 203 and repeat the process: 2038 / 999

Step 5:
If we divide 2038 by 999, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 1998 from 2038.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 407 / 999

On to step 6:
If we divide 407 by 999, we get 0 and a remainder of 407.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 620.0
If we subtract 0 from 407, we get 407.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 407 and repeat the process: 4078 / 999

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 4078 by 999, we get 4 and a remainder of 82.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6204.0
If we take 3996 away from 4078, we end up with 82.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 82, then repeat: 829 / 999

Advancing to step 8:
999 can be fit into 829 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 829.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 62040.0
Subtracting 0 from 829 leaves us with 829.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8290, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 8290 by 999, we get 8 with a remainder of 298.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62040.8
Subtracting 7992 from 8290 leaves us with 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2980, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 2980 by 999, we get 2 and a remainder of 982.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62040.82
Subtract 1998 from 2980 to get 982.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9820, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 999 fits into 9820 9 times, leaving a remainder of 829.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62040.829
If we take 8991 away from 9820, we end up with 829.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 8290 by 999, we get 8 and a remainder of 298.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62040.8298
Deduct 7992 from 8290 and we're left with 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2980, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 999 fits into 2980 2 times, leaving a remainder of 982.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62040.82982
If we take 1998 away from 2980, we end up with 982.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
999 can be fit into 9820 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 829.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62040.829829
Subtract 8991 from 9820 to get 829.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8290, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 8290 by 999, we get 8 and a remainder of 298.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62040.8298298
If we subtract 7992 from 8290, we get 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2980, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 2980 by 999, we get 2 and a remainder of 982.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62040.82982982
Subtract 1998 from 2980 to get 982.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9820, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 62040.82982982 with a balance of 9.82e-07.
