6983985 ÷ 704 
We want to divide 6983985 by 704.

Advancing to step 1:
704 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 704

On to step 2:
704 goes into 69 0 times with a remainder of 69.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 69 to get 69.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 698 / 704

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 698 by 704, we get 0 and a remainder of 698.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 698, we end up with 698.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 698 and continue with: 6983 / 704

Moving on to step 4:
704 goes into 6983 9 times with a remainder of 647.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 6336 away from 6983, we end up with 647.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 647 and continue: 6479 / 704

Moving on to step 5:
The number 704 fits into 6479 9 times, leaving a remainder of 143.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 99.0
If we take 6336 away from 6479, we end up with 143.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 143 and continue: 1438 / 704

Step 6:
704 goes into 1438 2 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 992.0
Deduct 1408 from 1438 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 305 / 704

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 305 by 704, we get 0 with a remainder of 305.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9920.0
If we subtract 0 from 305, we get 305.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3050, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 704 fits into 3050 4 times, leaving a remainder of 234.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9920.4
If we subtract 2816 from 3050, we get 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 2340 by 704, we get 3 with a remainder of 228.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9920.43
Subtract 2112 from 2340 to get 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 704 fits into 2280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 168.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9920.433
Subtracting 2112 from 2280 leaves us with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 9920.433 and a remainder of 0.0168.
