407972 ÷ 70 
Our goal is to divide 407972 by 70.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 70, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 70

Advancing to step 2:
70 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 407 / 70

On to step 3:
70 can be fit into 407 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 350 from 407.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 579 / 70

Step 4:
579 divided by 70 is 8 with a remainder of 19.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtract 560 from 579 to get 19.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 197 / 70

Advancing to step 5:
70 can be fit into 197 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 582.0
Subtracting 140 from 197 leaves us with 57.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 572 / 70

Going ahead to step 6:
70 can be fit into 572 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5828.0
If we take 560 away from 572, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 70 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5828.1
If we subtract 70 from 120, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
70 goes into 500 7 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5828.17
Subtract 490 from 500 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
70 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5828.171
Subtracting 70 from 100 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 70, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5828.1714
If we subtract 280 from 300, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 70 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5828.17142
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 140 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
600 divided by 70 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5828.171428
Subtracting 560 from 600 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
70 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5828.1714285
Subtract 350 from 400 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
500 divided by 70 is 7 with a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5828.17142857
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 490 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 5828.17142857 with a remainder of 1e-08.
