We divide 490981 by 71
Our goal is to divide 490981 by 71.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 71

On to step 2:
71 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 490 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
71 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 426 away from 490, we end up with 64.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 649 / 71

Step 4:
The number 71 fits into 649 9 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 69.0
If we take 639 away from 649, we end up with 10.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 71

On to step 5:
When dividing 108 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 691.0
Subtracting 71 from 108 leaves us with 37.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 371 / 71

Let's proceed to step 6:
71 goes into 371 5 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6915.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 355 from 371.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 7:
160 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6915.2
Subtracting 142 from 160 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
180 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6915.22
Subtracting 142 from 180 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6915.22, and the remainder is 0.038.
