Let's divide 41998 by 71
We want to figure out the number of times 41998 can be divided by 71.

Moving on to step 1:
71 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 71

On to step 2:
71 can be fit into 41 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 0 from 41.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 419 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
71 can be fit into 419 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 355 from 419 leaves us with 64.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 649 / 71

On to step 4:
When dividing 649 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 639 from 649.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 108 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
71 can be fit into 108 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 591.0
If we take 71 away from 108, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 370 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 591.5
Deduct 355 from 370 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 150 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 591.52
If we take 142 away from 150, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
80 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 591.521
If we take 71 away from 80, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 90 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 591.5211
Subtract 71 from 90 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 591.5211, with a leftover of 0.00019.
