617899 ÷ 71 
Our goal is to divide 617899 by 71.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 71

On to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 61 0 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 61 to get 61.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 617 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
71 can be fit into 617 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 568 from 617 to get 49.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 498 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
71 goes into 498 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 497 from 498.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 19 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 19.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 870.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 199 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
71 goes into 199 2 times with a remainder of 57.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8702.0
If we take 142 away from 199, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 570 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8702.8
If we subtract 568 from 570, we get 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 8:
20 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8702.8
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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 58.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8702.802
Deduct 142 from 200 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 10:
71 goes into 580 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8702.8028
Subtracting 568 from 580 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
71 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8702.80281
Subtracting 71 from 120 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 12:
71 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8702.802816
Deduct 426 from 490 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
640 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8702.8028169
Subtracting 639 from 640 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
10 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8702.8028169
If we subtract 0 from 10, 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.

The final outcome is 8702.8028169, with a leftover of 1e-08.
