We divide 71296817 by 257
Our goal is to divide 71296817 by 257.

Step 1:
7 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 257

Advancing to step 2:
71 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 71.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 0 from 71.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 712 / 257

Going ahead to step 3:
712 divided by 257 is 2 with a remainder of 198.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 198 after subtracting 514 from 712.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 198 and continue: 1989 / 257

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 1989 by 257, we get 7 with a remainder of 190.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 1799 from 1989 and we're left with 190.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 190 and continue: 1906 / 257

On to step 5:
257 goes into 1906 7 times with a remainder of 107.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 277.0
If we subtract 1799 from 1906, we get 107.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 107 and repeat the process: 1078 / 257

Let's proceed to step 6:
257 goes into 1078 4 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2774.0
Subtracting 1028 from 1078 leaves us with 50.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 501 / 257

Let's proceed to step 7:
257 can be fit into 501 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 244.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27741.0
If we take 257 away from 501, we end up with 244.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 244 and continue: 2447 / 257

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 257 fits into 2447 9 times, leaving a remainder of 134.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 277419.0
If we subtract 2313 from 2447, we get 134.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 1340 by 257, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 277419.5
Deduct 1285 from 1340 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
257 goes into 550 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 277419.52
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 514 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 257, we get 1 with a remainder of 103.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 277419.521
If we take 257 away from 360, we end up with 103.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 1030 by 257, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 277419.5214
Subtract 1028 from 1030 to get 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 13:
257 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 277419.5214
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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 14:
200 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 200.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 277419.5214
Subtract 0 from 200 to get 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 277419.5214, with a leftover of 2e-05.
