Let's divide 176982 by 71
We want to figure out the number of times 176982 can be divided by 71.

Moving on to step 1:
71 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 71

On to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 176 / 71

Going ahead to step 3:
176 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 142 from 176 to get 34.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 349 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
71 goes into 349 4 times with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 284 from 349, we get 65.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 65, then repeat: 658 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
658 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 19.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 249.0
Deduct 639 from 658 and we're left with 19.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 192 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
192 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 50.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2492.0
If we take 142 away from 192, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 500 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2492.7
Subtracting 497 from 500 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 30 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2492.7
Subtracting 0 from 30 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 300 by 71, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2492.704
Subtract 284 from 300 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
71 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2492.7042
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 142 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 11:
71 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2492.70422
If we subtract 142 from 180, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2492.70422, and the remainder is 3.8e-05.
