Result so far: 1
Subtract 5 from 7 to get 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 5

Step 2:
5 goes into 22 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of of the result. 
Result so far: 14

Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 5

Step 3:
5 goes into 24 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of of the result. 
Result so far: 144
Subtract 20 from 24 to get 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 5

Step 4:
5 goes into 40 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of of the result. 
Result so far: 1448
Subtract 40 from 40 to get 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 5

Step 5:
5 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of of the result. 
Result so far: 14480
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.

The final result is 14480 with a remainder of 1.
