We divide 68976975 by 143
We want to divide 68976975 by 143.

On to step 1:
6 divided by 143 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 143

Step 2:
When dividing 68 by 143, we get 0 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 68 and we're left with 68.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 689 / 143

Moving on to step 3:
143 goes into 689 4 times with a remainder of 117.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 572 from 689 and we're left with 117.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 117 and repeat the process: 1177 / 143

On to step 4:
1177 divided by 143 is 8 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 1144 away from 1177, we end up with 33.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 336 / 143

On to step 5:
143 goes into 336 2 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 482.0
Subtracting 286 from 336 leaves us with 50.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 509 / 143

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 509 by 143, we get 3 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4823.0
Deduct 429 from 509 and we're left with 80.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 80 and continue: 807 / 143

Step 7:
143 can be fit into 807 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 92.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48235.0
If we subtract 715 from 807, we get 92.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 92 and continue with: 925 / 143

Moving on to step 8:
925 divided by 143 is 6 with a remainder of 67.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 482356.0
Subtract 858 from 925 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 670 by 143, we get 4 with a remainder of 98.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 482356.4
If we take 572 away from 670, we end up with 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
143 goes into 980 6 times with a remainder of 122.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 482356.46
Subtracting 858 from 980 leaves us with 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
143 goes into 1220 8 times with a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 482356.468
Subtract 1144 from 1220 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
143 can be fit into 760 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 482356.4685
Subtract 715 from 760 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 450 by 143, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 482356.46853
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 429 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 143 fits into 210 1 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 482356.468531
Subtract 143 from 210 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 670 by 143, we get 4 with a remainder of 98.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 482356.4685314
Deduct 572 from 670 and we're left with 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
980 divided by 143 is 6 with a remainder of 122.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 482356.46853146
If we take 858 away from 980, we end up with 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 482356.46853146 with a remaining 1.22e-07.
