We divide 511957 by 71
Our goal is to divide 511957 by 71.

Let's proceed to step 1:
71 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
71 can be fit into 51 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 51 leaves us with 51.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 511 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
71 goes into 511 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 497 from 511 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 149 / 71

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 149 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 142 from 149 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 75 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 75 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 721.0
Subtracting 71 from 75 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 71

On to step 6:
If we divide 47 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7210.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 7:
71 can be fit into 470 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7210.6
Deduct 426 from 470 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7210.66
If we take 426 away from 440, we end up 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.

The final result is 7210.66 with a remainder of 0.014.
