Let's divide 123894 by 71
We want to divide 123894 by 71.

On to step 1:
71 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 71

Step 2:
71 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 123 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 123 1 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 71 away from 123, we end up with 52.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 528 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 528 by 71, we get 7 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 497 from 528 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 319 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
71 goes into 319 4 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 284 from 319 to get 35.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 354 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 354 4 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1744.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 284 from 354.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
71 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1744.9
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 610 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1744.98
If we take 568 away from 610, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
420 divided by 71 is 5 with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1744.985
If we take 355 away from 420, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 650 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1744.9859
If we subtract 639 from 650, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 110 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1744.98591
Subtracting 71 from 110 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 12:
71 goes into 390 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1744.985915
If we take 355 away from 390, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
350 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1744.9859154
If we subtract 284 from 350, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
71 goes into 660 9 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1744.98591549
Deduct 639 from 660 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1744.98591549 with a remaining 2.1e-08.
