We're dividing 71240 by 58 
We want to divide 71240 by 58.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 58, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 58

Moving on to step 2:
58 can be fit into 71 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 58 from 71, we get 13.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 132 / 58

Moving on to step 3:
132 divided by 58 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 116 from 132, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 164 / 58

On to step 4:
58 can be fit into 164 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we subtract 116 from 164, we get 48.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 480 / 58

Step 5:
58 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1228.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 464 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 58 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1228.2
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 116 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 7:
440 divided by 58 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1228.27
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 406 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 58 fits into 340 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1228.275
Subtract 290 from 340 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 500 by 58, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1228.2758
Deduct 464 from 500 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 58 fits into 360 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1228.27586
Subtract 348 from 360 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 58 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1228.275862
Subtracting 116 from 120 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
58 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1228.275862
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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 13:
The number 58 fits into 400 6 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1228.27586206
Subtract 348 from 400 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 1228.27586206, and the remainder is 5.2e-08.
