We're dividing 66972987 by 781 
We're looking to find how many times 781 goes into 66972987.

Advancing to step 1:
781 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 66 / 781

Advancing to step 2:
781 goes into 66 0 times with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 66 to get 66.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 669 / 781

On to step 3:
781 can be fit into 669 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 669.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 669 after subtracting 0 from 669.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 669, then repeat: 6697 / 781

On to step 4:
6697 divided by 781 is 8 with a remainder of 449.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 6248 from 6697 to get 449.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 449, then repeat: 4492 / 781

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 4492 by 781, we get 5 with a remainder of 587.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85.0
The remainder is 587 after subtracting 3905 from 4492.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 587, then carry on: 5879 / 781

On to step 6:
If we divide 5879 by 781, we get 7 and a remainder of 412.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 857.0
Deduct 5467 from 5879 and we're left with 412.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 412, then repeat: 4128 / 781

Advancing to step 7:
781 goes into 4128 5 times with a remainder of 223.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8575.0
Subtracting 3905 from 4128 leaves us with 223.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 223 and repeat the process: 2237 / 781

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 2237 by 781, we get 2 with a remainder of 675.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85752.0
If we subtract 1562 from 2237, we get 675.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 6750 by 781, we get 8 with a remainder of 502.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85752.8
Subtract 6248 from 6750 to get 502.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5020, and continue the process.

Step 10:
781 goes into 5020 6 times with a remainder of 334.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85752.86
Deduct 4686 from 5020 and we're left with 334.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 781 fits into 3340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 216.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85752.864
If we subtract 3124 from 3340, we get 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
2160 divided by 781 is 2 with a remainder of 598.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85752.8642
Subtract 1562 from 2160 to get 598.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5980, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
5980 divided by 781 is 7 with a remainder of 513.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85752.86427
Subtracting 5467 from 5980 leaves us with 513.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 5130 by 781, we get 6 and a remainder of 444.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85752.864276
Deduct 4686 from 5130 and we're left with 444.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 781 fits into 4440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 535.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85752.8642765
If we subtract 3905 from 4440, we get 535.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5350, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
When dividing 5350 by 781, we get 6 with a remainder of 664.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85752.86427656
Subtracting 4686 from 5350 leaves us with 664.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6640, and continue the process.

The final result is 85752.86427656 with a remainder of 6.64e-07.
