Let's divide 283547 by 71
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 283547.

On to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 71

Moving on to step 2:
71 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 283 / 71

Step 3:
71 goes into 283 3 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 213 from 283.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 705 / 71

On to step 4:
705 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 66.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we subtract 639 from 705, we get 66.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 664 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
71 can be fit into 664 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 399.0
Deduct 639 from 664 and we're left with 25.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 257 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
71 goes into 257 3 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3993.0
Deduct 213 from 257 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
71 goes into 440 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3993.6
Subtracting 426 from 440 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
71 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 69.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3993.61
Subtracting 71 from 140 leaves us with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
71 goes into 690 9 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3993.619
Deduct 639 from 690 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
71 can be fit into 510 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3993.6197
Deduct 497 from 510 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
130 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3993.61971
Deduct 71 from 130 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 590 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3993.619718
Subtract 568 from 590 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
71 can be fit into 220 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3993.6197183
Subtracting 213 from 220 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 70 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3993.6197183
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3993.6197183 and a remainder of 7e-08.
