Let's divide 156556 by 71
Our goal is to divide 156556 by 71.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 71

Step 2:
If we divide 15 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 156 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 156 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 142 away from 156, we end up with 14.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 145 / 71

Step 4:
The number 71 fits into 145 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 142 from 145 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 71 fits into 35 0 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 220.0
Deduct 0 from 35 and we're left with 35.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 356 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 356 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2205.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 355 from 356.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2205.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
71 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2205.01
If we subtract 71 from 100, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
290 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2205.014
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 284 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 60 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2205.014
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 71 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2205.01408
Subtract 568 from 600 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2205.014084
If we take 284 away from 320, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 71 fits into 360 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2205.0140845
Subtracting 355 from 360 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 50 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2205.0140845
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2205.0140845, with a leftover of 5e-08.
