We look at the division of 240362 by 71 
We want to divide 240362 by 71.

Let's proceed to step 1:
71 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
71 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 240 / 71

Step 3:
If we divide 240 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 213 from 240 leaves us with 27.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 273 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
273 divided by 71 is 3 with a remainder of 60.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 213 from 273.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 606 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 71 fits into 606 8 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 338.0
Deduct 568 from 606 and we're left with 38.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 382 / 71

Let's proceed to step 6:
71 can be fit into 382 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3385.0
Deduct 355 from 382 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
71 goes into 270 3 times with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3385.3
If we take 213 away from 270, we end up with 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 8:
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: 3385.38
Subtracting 568 from 570 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
71 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3385.38
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
200 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3385.3802
Subtracting 142 from 200 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
71 goes into 580 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3385.38028
If we take 568 away from 580, we end up 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 120 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 49.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3385.380281
Deduct 71 from 120 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
71 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3385.3802816
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 426 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
640 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3385.38028169
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 639 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3385.38028169 with a balance of 1e-09.
