734978 divided by 71 
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 734978.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
71 can be fit into 73 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 71 from 73, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 71

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 24 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 249 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 249 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 103.0
If we subtract 213 from 249, we get 36.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 367 / 71

On to step 5:
71 goes into 367 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1035.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 355 from 367.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 128 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 128 1 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10351.0
If we subtract 71 from 128, we get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 570 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10351.8
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 568 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10351.8
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
71 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10351.802
If we subtract 142 from 200, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
71 can be fit into 580 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10351.8028
Deduct 568 from 580 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
71 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10351.80281
If we subtract 71 from 120, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10351.802816
Subtract 426 from 490 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 640 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10351.8028169
Subtracting 639 from 640 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 10 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10351.8028169
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10351.8028169 with a remaining 1e-08.
