Let's divide 299419 by 71
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 299419.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 71

Step 2:
71 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 299 / 71

On to step 3:
When dividing 299 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 15.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 284 away from 299, we end up with 15.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 154 / 71

Step 4:
71 can be fit into 154 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we subtract 142 from 154, we get 12.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 121 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 121 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 421.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 71 from 121.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 509 / 71

Step 6:
71 can be fit into 509 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4217.0
Subtracting 497 from 509 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
71 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4217.1
Subtracting 71 from 120 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4217.16
If we take 426 away from 490, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
71 goes into 640 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4217.169
Subtract 639 from 640 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 71 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4217.169
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4217.16901
If we subtract 71 from 100, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
71 can be fit into 290 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4217.169014
If we subtract 284 from 290, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 60 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4217.169014
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 14:
71 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4217.16901408
Subtracting 568 from 600 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4217.16901408 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
