We look at the division of 973978 by 99 
Our goal is to divide 973978 by 99.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 99 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 99

Moving on to step 2:
99 can be fit into 97 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 97.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 97, we end up with 97.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 97 and repeat the process: 973 / 99

On to step 3:
If we divide 973 by 99, we get 9 and a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 891 from 973 to get 82.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 82, then repeat: 829 / 99

Advancing to step 4:
99 can be fit into 829 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 98.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 792 from 829.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 377 / 99

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 99 fits into 377 3 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 983.0
If we take 297 away from 377, we end up with 80.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 80, then carry on: 808 / 99

Step 6:
808 divided by 99 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9838.0
Subtract 792 from 808 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
160 divided by 99 is 1 with a remainder of 61.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9838.1
If we subtract 99 from 160, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 8:
610 divided by 99 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9838.16
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 594 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 99 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9838.161
Deduct 99 from 160 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 610 by 99, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9838.1616
If we take 594 away from 610, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
160 divided by 99 is 1 with a remainder of 61.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9838.16161
Deduct 99 from 160 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 12:
610 divided by 99 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9838.161616
Subtracting 594 from 610 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 13:
The number 99 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9838.1616161
Deduct 99 from 160 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 610 by 99, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9838.16161616
Subtracting 594 from 610 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.

Our division results in 9838.16161616 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
