878817 divided by 71 
Our goal is to divide 878817 by 71.

On to step 1:
71 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 71

On to step 2:
87 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 71 away from 87, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 168 / 71

On to step 3:
If we divide 168 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 142 away from 168, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 268 / 71

On to step 4:
The number 71 fits into 268 3 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 123.0
Subtract 213 from 268 to get 55.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 551 / 71

Moving on to step 5:
551 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1237.0
If we take 497 away from 551, we end up with 54.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 547 / 71

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 547 by 71, we get 7 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12377.0
If we take 497 away from 547, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 500 by 71, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12377.7
Deduct 497 from 500 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 30 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12377.7
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 9:
300 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12377.704
Subtracting 284 from 300 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12377.7042
Subtract 142 from 160 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12377.70422
Subtract 142 from 180 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12377.70422 and a remainder of 3.8e-05.
