247856 divided by 71 
We want to figure out the number of times 247856 can be divided by 71.

Step 1:
71 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 71

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 247 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 247 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 213 from 247 to get 34.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 348 / 71

On to step 4:
71 can be fit into 348 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 284 from 348.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 645 / 71

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 645 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 349.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 639 from 645.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 66 / 71

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 66 0 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3490.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 0 from 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 660 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3490.9
If we take 639 away from 660, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
71 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3490.92
Deduct 142 from 210 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 9:
680 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3490.929
Deduct 639 from 680 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
410 divided by 71 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3490.9295
If we take 355 away from 410, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 550 7 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3490.92957
Deduct 497 from 550 and we're left with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Step 12:
530 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 33.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3490.929577
Subtract 497 from 530 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3490.929577 with a balance of 3.3e-06.
