Let's divide 71994782 by 421
We're looking to find how many times 421 goes into 71994782.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 421, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 421

Going ahead to step 2:
421 can be fit into 71 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 71, we get 71.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 719 / 421

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 719 by 421, we get 1 and a remainder of 298.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 421 from 719 to get 298.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 298, then carry on: 2989 / 421

On to step 4:
If we divide 2989 by 421, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 2947 away from 2989, we end up with 42.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 424 / 421

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 424 by 421, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 171.0
Subtract 421 from 424 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 421

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 37 by 421, we get 0 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1710.0
Subtracting 0 from 37 leaves us with 37.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 378 / 421

Step 7:
421 can be fit into 378 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 378.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17100.0
The remainder is 378 after subtracting 0 from 378.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 378, then repeat: 3782 / 421

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 3782 by 421, we get 8 with a remainder of 414.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171008.0
Subtract 3368 from 3782 to get 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 421 fits into 4140 9 times, leaving a remainder of 351.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 171008.9
If we subtract 3789 from 4140, we get 351.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3510, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
3510 divided by 421 is 8 with a remainder of 142.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171008.98
Deduct 3368 from 3510 and we're left with 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 1420 by 421, we get 3 with a remainder of 157.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 171008.983
Subtracting 1263 from 1420 leaves us with 157.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 421 fits into 1570 3 times, leaving a remainder of 307.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 171008.9833
Subtracting 1263 from 1570 leaves us with 307.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3070, and continue the process.

The final result is 171008.9833 with a remainder of 0.00307.
