Let's divide 874173 by 71
We want to divide 874173 by 71.

On to step 1:
71 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 71

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 71 from 87 to get 16.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 164 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
71 can be fit into 164 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 142 from 164 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 221 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
71 can be fit into 221 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 123.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 213 from 221.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 71

Step 5:
71 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1231.0
Deduct 71 from 87 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 163 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 163 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12312.0
Subtract 142 from 163 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12312.2
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 142 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
680 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12312.29
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 639 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
71 goes into 410 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12312.295
Subtracting 355 from 410 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
71 can be fit into 550 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12312.2957
Subtracting 497 from 550 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
71 goes into 530 7 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12312.29577
Subtract 497 from 530 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 12312.29577, with a leftover of 3.3e-05.
