298886 divided by 71 
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 298886.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
29 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
71 can be fit into 298 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 284 from 298.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 148 / 71

Step 4:
71 can be fit into 148 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 142 from 148 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 68 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 68.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 420.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 0 from 68.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 686 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 686 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4209.0
Subtracting 639 from 686 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 470 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4209.6
Deduct 426 from 470 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4209.66
Subtracting 426 from 440 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4209.66, and the remainder is 0.014.
