744542 ÷ 71 
Our goal is to divide 744542 by 71.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 71

On to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 74 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 71 away from 74, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 34 0 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 34 to get 34.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 345 / 71

Step 4:
345 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 61.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 104.0
Subtracting 284 from 345 leaves us with 61.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 614 / 71

On to step 5:
When dividing 614 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1048.0
If we subtract 568 from 614, we get 46.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 462 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 462 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10486.0
If we take 426 away from 462, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 360 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10486.5
Subtracting 355 from 360 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
71 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10486.5
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left 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 9:
500 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10486.507
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 497 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
71 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10486.507
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 300 by 71, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10486.50704
If we subtract 284 from 300, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
160 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10486.507042
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 71 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10486.5070422
If we take 142 away from 180, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 10486.5070422, with a leftover of 3.8e-07.
