997642 ÷ 7 
We want to figure out the number of times 997642 can be divided by 7.

Step 1:
9 divided by 7 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 7 from 9 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 7

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 7, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 28 from 29 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 7

Let's proceed to step 3:
17 divided by 7 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 142.0
Subtract 14 from 17 to get 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 7

Moving on to step 4:
7 can be fit into 36 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1425.0
If we subtract 35 from 36, we get 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 7

Let's proceed to step 5:
14 divided by 7 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14252.0
Subtracting 14 from 14 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 7

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 2 by 7, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142520.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
7 goes into 20 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142520.2
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.

On to step 8:
The number 7 fits into 60 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142520.28
Deduct 56 from 60 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
7 goes into 40 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 142520.285
Subtract 35 from 40 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
7 goes into 50 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142520.2857
If we subtract 49 from 50, we get 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 11:
When dividing 10 by 7, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142520.28571
Subtracting 7 from 10 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 7 fits into 30 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142520.285714
If we take 28 away from 30, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
7 can be fit into 20 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142520.2857142
If we subtract 14 from 20, we get 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 14:
7 goes into 60 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142520.28571428
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.

After the division, we end up with 142520.28571428 and a remainder of 4e-09.
