298742 divided by 70 
We're looking to find how many times 70 goes into 298742.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 70 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 70

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 70, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 298 / 70

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 298 by 70, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 280 from 298 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 70

Moving on to step 4:
70 goes into 187 2 times with a remainder of 47.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 140 from 187 leaves us with 47.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 474 / 70

On to step 5:
474 divided by 70 is 6 with a remainder of 54.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 426.0
If we subtract 420 from 474, we get 54.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 542 / 70

On to step 6:
The number 70 fits into 542 7 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4267.0
If we subtract 490 from 542, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 70 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4267.7
If we subtract 490 from 520, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 70, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4267.74
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 280 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
200 divided by 70 is 2 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4267.742
Deduct 140 from 200 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
70 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4267.7428
If we take 560 away from 600, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 70, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4267.74285
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 350 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
70 goes into 500 7 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4267.742857
If we subtract 490 from 500, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 70, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4267.7428571
Subtract 70 from 100 to get 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 14:
The number 70 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4267.74285714
If we take 280 away from 300, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4267.74285714 and a remainder of 2e-08.
