We divide 6978949 by 296
We want to divide 6978949 by 296.

Advancing to step 1:
296 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 296

Going ahead to step 2:
69 divided by 296 is 0 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 69, we get 69.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 697 / 296

Step 3:
When dividing 697 by 296, we get 2 with a remainder of 105.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 592 from 697 to get 105.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 105, then repeat: 1058 / 296

Advancing to step 4:
The number 296 fits into 1058 3 times, leaving a remainder of 170.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 888 from 1058, we get 170.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 170 and continue with: 1709 / 296

On to step 5:
296 can be fit into 1709 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 229.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 235.0
If we take 1480 away from 1709, we end up with 229.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 229, then repeat: 2294 / 296

Step 6:
If we divide 2294 by 296, we get 7 and a remainder of 222.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2357.0
If we subtract 2072 from 2294, we get 222.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 222 and continue: 2229 / 296

On to step 7:
2229 divided by 296 is 7 with a remainder of 157.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23577.0
Deduct 2072 from 2229 and we're left with 157.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 296 fits into 1570 5 times, leaving a remainder of 90.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23577.5
If we subtract 1480 from 1570, we get 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
900 divided by 296 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23577.53
Subtract 888 from 900 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
296 can be fit into 120 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 120.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23577.53
Deduct 0 from 120 and we're left with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 1200 by 296, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23577.5304
Subtracting 1184 from 1200 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
296 goes into 160 0 times with a remainder of 160.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23577.5304
If we take 0 away from 160, we end up with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 296 fits into 1600 5 times, leaving a remainder of 120.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23577.530405
If we take 1480 away from 1600, we end up with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
296 goes into 1200 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23577.5304054
Subtract 1184 from 1200 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
160 divided by 296 is 0 with a remainder of 160.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23577.5304054
If we take 0 away from 160, we end up with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 23577.5304054, and the remainder is 1.6e-07.
