Let's divide 284738 by 71
Our goal is to divide 284738 by 71.

Going ahead to step 1:
71 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
71 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 284 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
284 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 284 from 284 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 71

Step 4:
If we divide 7 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 73 / 71

On to step 5:
71 can be fit into 73 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 401.0
Subtracting 71 from 73 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 71

Let's proceed to step 6:
28 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4010.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 280 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4010.3
Deduct 213 from 280 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
670 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4010.39
Subtract 639 from 670 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
71 can be fit into 310 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4010.394
If we subtract 284 from 310, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
260 divided by 71 is 3 with a remainder of 47.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4010.3943
Subtracting 213 from 260 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 470 by 71, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4010.39436
Subtract 426 from 470 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 12:
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: 4010.394366
If we subtract 426 from 440, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4010.394366, and the remainder is 1.4e-06.
