874983 ÷ 71 
We want to figure out the number of times 874983 can be divided by 71.

Step 1:
If we divide 8 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 71

On to step 2:
71 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 71 from 87, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 164 / 71

Step 3:
The number 71 fits into 164 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 142 from 164 and we're left with 22.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
The number 71 fits into 229 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 123.0
Subtract 213 from 229 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 168 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1232.0
Subtracting 142 from 168 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 263 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
263 divided by 71 is 3 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12323.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 213 from 263.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 500 by 71, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12323.7
If we take 497 away from 500, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
71 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12323.7
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
71 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12323.704
If we take 284 away from 300, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
160 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12323.7042
If we take 142 away from 160, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 180 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12323.70422
Subtracting 142 from 180 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12323.70422 with a balance of 3.8e-05.
