We divide 720871 by 70
Our goal is to divide 720871 by 70.

On to step 1:
70 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 70

On to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 70, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 70 from 72 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 70

Moving on to step 3:
70 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 208 / 70

Let's proceed to step 4:
70 can be fit into 208 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 102.0
Subtracting 140 from 208 leaves us with 68.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 687 / 70

On to step 5:
70 can be fit into 687 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1029.0
Deduct 630 from 687 and we're left with 57.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 571 / 70

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 571 by 70, we get 8 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10298.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 560 from 571.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 70, we get 1 and a remainder of 40.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10298.1
Subtracting 70 from 110 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 400 by 70, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10298.15
Subtract 350 from 400 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 70 fits into 500 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10298.157
If we subtract 490 from 500, we get 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 10:
If we divide 100 by 70, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10298.1571
Deduct 70 from 100 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
300 divided by 70 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10298.15714
If we subtract 280 from 300, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
200 divided by 70 is 2 with a remainder of 60.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10298.157142
Deduct 140 from 200 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 600 by 70, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10298.1571428
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 560 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 70, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10298.15714285
Subtracting 350 from 400 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final result is 10298.15714285 with a remainder of 5e-08.
