Let's divide 178517 by 71
We want to divide 178517 by 71.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
71 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 178 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 142 from 178 leaves us with 36.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 365 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
71 goes into 365 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 355 from 365 and we're left with 10.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 101 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
71 can be fit into 101 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 251.0
If we subtract 71 from 101, we get 30.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 307 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
71 can be fit into 307 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2514.0
If we subtract 284 from 307, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
230 divided by 71 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2514.3
Subtracting 213 from 230 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2514.32
If we take 142 away from 170, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 67.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2514.323
If we take 213 away from 280, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
670 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2514.3239
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 639 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
310 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2514.32394
If we take 284 away from 310, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2514.323943
If we take 213 away from 260, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
71 can be fit into 470 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2514.3239436
If we take 426 away from 470, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 440 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2514.32394366
Deduct 426 from 440 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2514.32394366 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
