We divide 71242490 by 131
We want to divide 71242490 by 131.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 131, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 131

Step 2:
When dividing 71 by 131, we get 0 with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 71 leaves us with 71.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 712 / 131

Advancing to step 3:
131 can be fit into 712 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 655 from 712, we get 57.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 574 / 131

Moving on to step 4:
131 can be fit into 574 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 524 away from 574, we end up with 50.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 502 / 131

Step 5:
When dividing 502 by 131, we get 3 with a remainder of 109.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 543.0
If we subtract 393 from 502, we get 109.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 109, then repeat: 1094 / 131

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 1094 by 131, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5438.0
Subtracting 1048 from 1094 leaves us with 46.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 469 / 131

On to step 7:
131 can be fit into 469 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54383.0
Subtract 393 from 469 to get 76.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 760 / 131

Advancing to step 8:
131 can be fit into 760 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 105.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 543835.0
If we take 655 away from 760, we end up with 105.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1050, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
1050 divided by 131 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 543835.8
Subtracting 1048 from 1050 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.

On to step 10:
131 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 543835.8
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
131 goes into 200 1 times with a remainder of 69.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 543835.801
If we subtract 131 from 200, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
690 divided by 131 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 543835.8015
Subtract 655 from 690 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
350 divided by 131 is 2 with a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 543835.80152
If we take 262 away from 350, we end up with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
131 can be fit into 880 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 94.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 543835.801526
The remainder is 94 after subtracting 786 from 880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 940 by 131, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 543835.8015267
Deduct 917 from 940 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
230 divided by 131 is 1 with a remainder of 99.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 543835.80152671
If we take 131 away from 230, we end up with 99.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 990, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 543835.80152671, and the remainder is 9.9e-08.
