We divide 204917 by 71
We want to figure out the number of times 204917 can be divided by 71.

On to step 1:
71 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 71

Step 2:
When dividing 20 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 204 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 204 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 142 from 204, we get 62.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 629 / 71

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 629 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 61.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 568 from 629 leaves us with 61.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 611 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
611 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 288.0
Subtracting 568 from 611 leaves us with 43.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 437 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 437 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 11.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2886.0
If we subtract 426 from 437, 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.

On to step 7:
71 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2886.1
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.

Moving on to step 8:
71 goes into 390 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2886.15
Deduct 355 from 390 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
350 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 66.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2886.154
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 10:
71 can be fit into 660 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2886.1549
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 639 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 210 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 68.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2886.15492
Subtracting 142 from 210 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
71 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2886.154929
Subtracting 639 from 680 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 410 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2886.1549295
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 355 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 550 by 71, we get 7 and a remainder of 53.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2886.15492957
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 497 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2886.15492957, and the remainder is 5.3e-08.
