We divide 318996 by 71
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 318996.

Going ahead to step 1:
71 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 318 / 71

Step 3:
If we divide 318 by 71, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 284 from 318 leaves us with 34.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 349 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
71 can be fit into 349 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
If we subtract 284 from 349, we get 65.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 659 / 71

Advancing to step 5:
71 goes into 659 9 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 449.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 639 from 659.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 206 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 206 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4492.0
Subtract 142 from 206 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 640 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4492.9
If we subtract 639 from 640, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
71 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4492.9
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 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 9:
If we divide 100 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4492.901
Subtracting 71 from 100 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
290 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4492.9014
Subtracting 284 from 290 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 60 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4492.9014
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
71 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4492.901408
If we subtract 568 from 600, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4492.9014084
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.

On to step 14:
71 goes into 360 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4492.90140845
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 355 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final result is 4492.90140845 with a remainder of 5e-09.
