We look at the division of 342279 by 71 
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 342279.

On to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 71

Step 2:
71 goes into 34 0 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 0 from 34.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 342 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
342 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 284 from 342 and we're left with 58.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 582 / 71

On to step 4:
71 can be fit into 582 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 568 away from 582, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 147 / 71

Moving on to step 5:
71 goes into 147 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 482.0
Deduct 142 from 147 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 71

On to step 6:
71 can be fit into 59 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4820.0
If we take 0 away from 59, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 7:
71 can be fit into 590 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4820.8
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 568 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4820.83
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 213 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 71 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4820.83
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
71 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 61.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4820.8309
Subtract 639 from 700 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 11:
610 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4820.83098
Subtracting 568 from 610 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4820.830985
If we subtract 355 from 420, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Step 13:
650 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4820.8309859
Subtract 639 from 650 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 110 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4820.83098591
If we subtract 71 from 110, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

The final result is 4820.83098591 with a remainder of 3.9e-08.
