We're dividing 31639 by 71 
We want to divide 31639 by 71.

Advancing to step 1:
71 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 71

On to step 2:
71 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 316 / 71

On to step 3:
When dividing 316 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 284 from 316.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 323 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 323 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 39.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
If we subtract 284 from 323, we get 39.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 399 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 399 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 445.0
If we take 355 away from 399, we end up 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 6:
When dividing 440 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 445.6
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 426 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
71 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 445.61
If we take 71 away from 140, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 690 9 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 445.619
Subtracting 639 from 690 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
510 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 445.6197
Subtracting 497 from 510 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 71 fits into 130 1 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 445.61971
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 71 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 590 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 445.619718
If we subtract 568 from 590, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 220 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 445.6197183
Subtract 213 from 220 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
71 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 445.6197183
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 445.6197183, and the remainder is 7e-08.
