We look at the division of 247801 by 71 
We want to divide 247801 by 71.

On to step 1:
71 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 71

Moving on to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 247 / 71

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 247 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 213 from 247, we get 34.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 348 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
71 goes into 348 4 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we subtract 284 from 348, we get 64.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 640 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 640 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 349.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 639 from 640.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
11 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3490.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
71 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3490.1
Subtract 71 from 110 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 390 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3490.15
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 9:
350 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 66.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3490.154
Deduct 284 from 350 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
The number 71 fits into 660 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3490.1549
If we subtract 639 from 660, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 210 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 68.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3490.15492
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 142 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
680 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3490.154929
Deduct 639 from 680 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
71 goes into 410 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3490.1549295
Subtract 355 from 410 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 14:
71 can be fit into 550 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3490.15492957
Subtracting 497 from 550 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3490.15492957 with a balance of 5.3e-08.
