Let's divide 71531731 by 489
Our goal is to divide 71531731 by 489.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 489, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 489

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 71 by 489, we get 0 with a remainder of 71.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 71, we get 71.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 715 / 489

On to step 3:
489 can be fit into 715 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 226.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 489 from 715 leaves us with 226.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 226 and repeat the process: 2263 / 489

Let's proceed to step 4:
2263 divided by 489 is 4 with a remainder of 307.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 1956 away from 2263, we end up with 307.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 307 and repeat the process: 3071 / 489

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 3071 by 489, we get 6 and a remainder of 137.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 146.0
Deduct 2934 from 3071 and we're left with 137.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 137, then repeat: 1377 / 489

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1377 by 489, we get 2 and a remainder of 399.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1462.0
If we subtract 978 from 1377, we get 399.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 399, then repeat: 3993 / 489

Step 7:
If we divide 3993 by 489, we get 8 and a remainder of 81.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14628.0
If we take 3912 away from 3993, we end up with 81.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 81, then repeat: 811 / 489

Going ahead to step 8:
489 goes into 811 1 times with a remainder of 322.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 146281.0
Subtract 489 from 811 to get 322.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
489 goes into 3220 6 times with a remainder of 286.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 146281.6
If we take 2934 away from 3220, we end up with 286.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2860, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 2860 by 489, we get 5 with a remainder of 415.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 146281.65
The remainder is 415 after subtracting 2445 from 2860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 4150 by 489, we get 8 with a remainder of 238.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 146281.658
If we take 3912 away from 4150, we end up with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 489 fits into 2380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 424.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 146281.6584
Subtract 1956 from 2380 to get 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
4240 divided by 489 is 8 with a remainder of 328.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 146281.65848
Subtract 3912 from 4240 to get 328.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 3280 by 489, we get 6 and a remainder of 346.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 146281.658486
If we take 2934 away from 3280, we end up with 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
489 can be fit into 3460 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 146281.6584867
If we subtract 3423 from 3460, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
370 divided by 489 is 0 with a remainder of 370.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 146281.6584867
Subtract 0 from 370 to get 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3700, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 146281.6584867 with a balance of 3.7e-07.
