We look at the division of 287049 by 71 
We want to figure out the number of times 287049 can be divided by 71.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 71

Step 2:
28 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
71 goes into 287 4 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 284 away from 287, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
30 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 304 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 71 fits into 304 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 404.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 284 from 304.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 209 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 209 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 67.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4042.0
Subtract 142 from 209 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
71 goes into 670 9 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4042.9
Deduct 639 from 670 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 310 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4042.94
Subtracting 284 from 310 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
260 divided by 71 is 3 with a remainder of 47.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4042.943
Subtract 213 from 260 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
470 divided by 71 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4042.9436
Subtracting 426 from 470 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
The number 71 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4042.94366
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 426 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4042.94366 and a remainder of 1.4e-05.
