317874 ÷ 71 
We want to divide 317874 by 71.

On to step 1:
71 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 317 / 71

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 317 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 284 from 317 and we're left with 33.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 338 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
71 can be fit into 338 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 44.0
If we subtract 284 from 338, we get 54.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 547 / 71

Step 5:
547 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 50.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 447.0
Subtract 497 from 547 to get 50.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 504 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 504 by 71, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4477.0
If we subtract 497 from 504, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4477.0
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
71 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4477.09
If we subtract 639 from 700, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 610 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4477.098
Subtracting 568 from 610 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 71 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4477.0985
If we take 355 away from 420, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 650 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4477.09859
Subtracting 639 from 650 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
71 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4477.098591
Deduct 71 from 110 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 71 fits into 390 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4477.0985915
Deduct 355 from 390 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 71 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4477.09859154
If we take 284 away from 350, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4477.09859154 with a remaining 6.6e-08.
