We divide 217265 by 71
We want to divide 217265 by 71.

Advancing to step 1:
71 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 71

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 71

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 217 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 213 from 217.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 42 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 426 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 426 by 71, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 306.0
If we subtract 426 from 426, we get 0.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 5 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3060.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 71 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3060.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 500 by 71, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3060.07
Subtract 497 from 500 to get 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 9:
When dividing 30 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3060.07
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 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 10:
71 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3060.0704
Subtracting 284 from 300 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3060.07042
Deduct 142 from 160 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
71 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3060.070422
If we take 142 away from 180, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final result is 3060.070422 with a remainder of 3.8e-06.
