223872 ÷ 71 
We want to figure out the number of times 223872 can be divided by 71.

Step 1:
71 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 71

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 22 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 22, we get 22.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 223 / 71

Step 3:
If we divide 223 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 10.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 213 away from 223, we end up with 10.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 108 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 108 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 71 away from 108, we end up with 37.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 377 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
71 goes into 377 5 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 315.0
If we subtract 355 from 377, we get 22.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 222 / 71

Step 6:
222 divided by 71 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3153.0
Subtracting 213 from 222 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3153.1
Subtract 71 from 90 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
71 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3153.12
Subtract 142 from 190 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 480 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 54.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3153.126
Deduct 426 from 480 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 540 by 71, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3153.1267
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 497 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 430 by 71, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3153.12676
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 426 from 430.
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:
71 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3153.12676
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 71 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3153.1267605
Subtract 355 from 400 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 14:
71 goes into 450 6 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3153.12676056
Deduct 426 from 450 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3153.12676056 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
