Let's divide 517859 by 7
Our goal is to divide 517859 by 7.

Moving on to step 1:
7 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 7

Advancing to step 2:
51 divided by 7 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 49 from 51 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 7

Going ahead to step 3:
7 goes into 27 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we take 21 away from 27, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 7

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 68 by 7, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 739.0
If we take 63 away from 68, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 7

Step 5:
7 goes into 55 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7397.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 49 from 55.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 7

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 69 by 7, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73979.0
Deduct 63 from 69 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 7 fits into 60 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73979.8
Subtracting 56 from 60 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 7 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73979.85
If we take 35 away from 40, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 50 by 7, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73979.857
If we take 49 away from 50, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 10:
7 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73979.8571
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 7 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
7 can be fit into 30 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73979.85714
Deduct 28 from 30 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 20 by 7, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73979.857142
Deduct 14 from 20 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
7 can be fit into 60 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 73979.8571428
Subtracting 56 from 60 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 7, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73979.85714285
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 35 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 73979.85714285 and a remainder of 5e-09.
