240852 ÷ 71 
Our goal is to divide 240852 by 71.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 71

Going ahead to step 2:
24 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 240 / 71

On to step 3:
If we divide 240 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 213 from 240 leaves us with 27.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 278 / 71

Step 4:
When dividing 278 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 65.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 213 from 278 leaves us with 65.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 655 / 71

Step 5:
71 can be fit into 655 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 339.0
Deduct 639 from 655 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 162 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 162 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3392.0
Deduct 142 from 162 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
71 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3392.2
Subtract 142 from 200 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3392.28
Subtract 568 from 580 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
71 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 49.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3392.281
Subtracting 71 from 120 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 71 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3392.2816
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 640 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3392.28169
Deduct 639 from 640 and we're left 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 12:
10 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3392.28169
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 100 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3392.2816901
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 71 from 100.
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 14:
When dividing 290 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3392.28169014
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 284 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3392.28169014, with a leftover of 6e-09.
