Foreign Tax Credit: Form 1099-Div Box 7 greater than $600

Good morning.  My wife and I (MFJ) have a single (International) mutual fund that states Foreign Tax Paid in box #7 of the 1099-Div.  Box #8 says "Various." This year (2019) the amount paid is greater than $600.  We would like to take the Foreign Tax Credit.  In past years the amount (in box #7) was less than $600.  I'm looking for a step by step process that we'll need to follow to take the credit.  I understand that we may have to file form 1116.  Can anyone assist in this matter please?
