We look at the division of 999858 by 71 
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 999858.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 71

Step 2:
71 goes into 99 1 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 71 from 99 to get 28.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 289 / 71

Going ahead to step 3:
289 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 284 from 289 to get 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 71

Advancing to step 4:
71 goes into 58 0 times with a remainder of 58.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 140.0
Subtracting 0 from 58 leaves us with 58.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 585 / 71

On to step 5:
If we divide 585 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1408.0
Subtracting 568 from 585 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 71

Step 6:
71 can be fit into 178 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14082.0
If we subtract 142 from 178, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 7:
71 goes into 360 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14082.5
Subtracting 355 from 360 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 50 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14082.5
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
71 can be fit into 500 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14082.507
Deduct 497 from 500 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
71 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14082.507
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14082.50704
Subtract 284 from 300 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 71 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14082.507042
Subtract 142 from 160 to get 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 13:
The number 71 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14082.5070422
Subtract 142 from 180 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 14082.5070422 with a balance of 3.8e-07.
