We're dividing 227971 by 71 
Our goal is to divide 227971 by 71.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 227 / 71

On to step 3:
71 goes into 227 3 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 213 from 227 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 71

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 149 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 142 away from 149, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 71

Moving on to step 5:
77 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 321.0
If we take 71 away from 77, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 71

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 61 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3210.0
Subtract 0 from 61 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
71 can be fit into 610 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3210.8
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.

Step 8:
When dividing 420 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3210.85
If we subtract 355 from 420, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
71 goes into 650 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3210.859
If we take 639 away from 650, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 110 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3210.8591
If we take 71 away from 110, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
390 divided by 71 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3210.85915
If we subtract 355 from 390, we get 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 12:
71 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 66.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3210.859154
If we take 284 away from 350, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
71 can be fit into 660 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3210.8591549
If we take 639 away from 660, we end up 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.

Step 14:
71 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3210.85915492
If we take 142 away from 210, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3210.85915492, and the remainder is 6.8e-08.
