We look at the division of 983986 by 71 
Our goal is to divide 983986 by 71.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 71

On to step 2:
71 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 71 from 98, we get 27.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 273 / 71

Step 3:
The number 71 fits into 273 3 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 213 from 273.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 609 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 71 fits into 609 8 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 138.0
If we subtract 568 from 609, we get 41.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 418 / 71

Step 5:
The number 71 fits into 418 5 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1385.0
Subtracting 355 from 418 leaves us with 63.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 636 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 636 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 68.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13858.0
If we subtract 568 from 636, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
71 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13858.9
If we take 639 away from 680, we end up 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 8:
71 goes into 410 5 times with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13858.95
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 550 by 71, we get 7 with a remainder of 53.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13858.957
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 71 fits into 530 7 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13858.9577
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 497 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 13858.9577 with a balance of 0.00033.
