We're dividing 161638 by 71 
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 161638.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 161 / 71

Step 3:
161 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 19.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 142 from 161 leaves us with 19.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 196 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
71 can be fit into 196 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 142 away from 196, we end up with 54.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 543 / 71

Step 5:
543 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 46.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 227.0
Deduct 497 from 543 and we're left with 46.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 468 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 468 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2276.0
Subtracting 426 from 468 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
420 divided by 71 is 5 with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2276.5
If we subtract 355 from 420, we get 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 8:
If we divide 650 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2276.59
If we subtract 639 from 650, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 110 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2276.591
If we take 71 away from 110, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
71 goes into 390 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2276.5915
Subtracting 355 from 390 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
71 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 66.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2276.59154
Deduct 284 from 350 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
71 goes into 660 9 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2276.591549
Subtract 639 from 660 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
210 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2276.5915492
If we take 142 away from 210, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
680 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2276.59154929
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 639 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2276.59154929 and a remainder of 4.1e-08.
