988968 ÷ 71 
We want to figure out the number of times 988968 can be divided by 71.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 71

Going ahead to step 2:
98 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 71 away from 98, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 71

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 65.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 213 from 278 to get 65.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 65, then repeat: 659 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 659 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 139.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 639 from 659.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 206 / 71

Moving on to step 5:
71 goes into 206 2 times with a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1392.0
Deduct 142 from 206 and we're left with 64.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 648 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 648 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13929.0
If we take 639 away from 648, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13929.1
If we take 71 away from 90, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
71 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13929.12
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 142 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
480 divided by 71 is 6 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13929.126
Deduct 426 from 480 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 71 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13929.1267
Subtracting 497 from 540 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
71 goes into 430 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 13929.12676
Subtracting 426 from 430 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 12:
71 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13929.12676
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 400 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13929.1267605
Deduct 355 from 400 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 450 by 71, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13929.12676056
Subtracting 426 from 450 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 13929.12676056 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
