We look at the division of 266718 by 71 
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 266718.

Advancing to step 1:
71 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 71

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 266 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
71 can be fit into 266 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 213 away from 266, we end up with 53.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 537 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 537 by 71, we get 7 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtract 497 from 537 to get 40.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 401 / 71

On to step 5:
401 divided by 71 is 5 with a remainder of 46.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 375.0
Deduct 355 from 401 and we're left with 46.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 468 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
71 goes into 468 6 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3756.0
Subtracting 426 from 468 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
71 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3756.5
Deduct 355 from 420 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
71 goes into 650 9 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3756.59
Subtracting 639 from 650 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
71 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3756.591
Subtract 71 from 110 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
71 goes into 390 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3756.5915
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 355 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 11:
350 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3756.59154
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 284 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
660 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3756.591549
If we subtract 639 from 660, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 71 fits into 210 2 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3756.5915492
If we subtract 142 from 210, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 71 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3756.59154929
If we subtract 639 from 680, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3756.59154929, and the remainder is 4.1e-08.
