596981 divided by 76 
We're looking to find how many times 76 goes into 596981.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 76 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 76

Step 2:
The number 76 fits into 59 0 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 0 from 59.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 596 / 76

On to step 3:
If we divide 596 by 76, we get 7 and a remainder of 64.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 532 from 596 to get 64.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 649 / 76

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 649 by 76, we get 8 with a remainder of 41.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78.0
Subtract 608 from 649 to get 41.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 418 / 76

On to step 5:
418 divided by 76 is 5 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 785.0
If we subtract 380 from 418, we get 38.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 381 / 76

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 381 by 76, we get 5 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7855.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 380 from 381.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 10 by 76, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7855.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 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 8:
100 divided by 76 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7855.01
Deduct 76 from 100 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
240 divided by 76 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7855.013
Deduct 228 from 240 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
76 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7855.0131
Deduct 76 from 120 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 440 by 76, we get 5 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7855.01315
Subtracting 380 from 440 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 600 by 76, we get 7 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7855.013157
Subtract 532 from 600 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 76 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7855.0131578
Subtract 608 from 680 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 720 by 76, we get 9 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7855.01315789
Subtract 684 from 720 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7855.01315789 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
