Let's divide 595988 by 71
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 595988.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 71

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 59 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 59 to get 59.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 595 / 71

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 595 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 27.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 568 from 595, we get 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 71

Advancing to step 4:
The number 71 fits into 279 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
If we subtract 213 from 279, we get 66.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 668 / 71

Moving on to step 5:
71 can be fit into 668 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 839.0
Deduct 639 from 668 and we're left with 29.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 298 / 71

Step 6:
71 goes into 298 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8394.0
If we take 284 away from 298, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
71 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8394.1
Deduct 71 from 140 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
71 goes into 690 9 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8394.19
Deduct 639 from 690 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 9:
510 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8394.197
Subtracting 497 from 510 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 71 fits into 130 1 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8394.1971
If we take 71 away from 130, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 590 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8394.19718
Subtracting 568 from 590 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8394.197183
If we subtract 213 from 220, 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
70 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8394.197183
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 700 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 61.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8394.19718309
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 639 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8394.19718309 with a remaining 6.1e-08.
