We divide 539949 by 71
Our goal is to divide 539949 by 71.

Moving on to step 1:
71 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
53 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 53.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 539 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 539 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 497 from 539, we get 42.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 429 / 71

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 429 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 76.0
If we subtract 426 from 429, we get 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
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: 760.0
Subtract 0 from 34 to get 34.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 349 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
71 can be fit into 349 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7604.0
If we take 284 away from 349, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 650 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7604.9
If we take 639 away from 650, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
71 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7604.91
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 390 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7604.915
Deduct 355 from 390 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 71 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7604.9154
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 284 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 660 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7604.91549
If we subtract 639 from 660, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
71 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7604.915492
If we subtract 142 from 210, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 71 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7604.9154929
If we take 639 away from 680, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 410 by 71, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7604.91549295
Subtract 355 from 410 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7604.91549295 with a balance of 5.5e-08.
