We divide 842961 by 71
We want to divide 842961 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
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 84 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 71 from 84 leaves us with 13.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 132 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
71 can be fit into 132 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 71 away from 132, we end up with 61.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 619 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
619 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 568 from 619.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 516 / 71

Step 5:
516 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1187.0
Subtracting 497 from 516 leaves us with 19.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 191 / 71

Step 6:
The number 71 fits into 191 2 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11872.0
If we subtract 142 from 191, we get 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 7:
490 divided by 71 is 6 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11872.6
Subtract 426 from 490 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 640 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11872.69
Subtracting 639 from 640 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 71 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11872.69
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
100 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11872.6901
If we take 71 away from 100, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 290 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11872.69014
If we subtract 284 from 290, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11872.69014
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
600 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11872.6901408
Subtract 568 from 600 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
71 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11872.69014084
Subtract 284 from 320 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11872.69014084, with a leftover of 3.6e-08.
