Let's divide 254170 by 71
Our goal is to divide 254170 by 71.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 254 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
71 can be fit into 254 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 213 from 254, we get 41.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 411 / 71

Step 4:
The number 71 fits into 411 5 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we subtract 355 from 411, we get 56.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 567 / 71

Step 5:
The number 71 fits into 567 7 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 357.0
Subtract 497 from 567 to get 70.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 700 / 71

Step 6:
71 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3579.0
If we subtract 639 from 700, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
610 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3579.8
Subtracting 568 from 610 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 420 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 65.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3579.85
If we subtract 355 from 420, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
71 can be fit into 650 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3579.859
If we subtract 639 from 650, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
71 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3579.8591
Deduct 71 from 110 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
71 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3579.85915
If we subtract 355 from 390, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 350 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3579.859154
Deduct 284 from 350 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
660 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3579.8591549
If we take 639 away from 660, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 71 fits into 210 2 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3579.85915492
If we take 142 away from 210, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3579.85915492 with a balance of 6.8e-08.
