475987 divided by 71 
We want to figure out the number of times 475987 can be divided by 71.

Step 1:
The number 71 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 71

On to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 475 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 475 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 426 from 475, we get 49.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 499 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
71 goes into 499 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 67.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 497 from 499.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 28 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 670.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 287 / 71

On to step 6:
When dividing 287 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6704.0
Subtract 284 from 287 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
71 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6704.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
71 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6704.04
Deduct 284 from 300 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
71 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6704.042
If we take 142 away from 160, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
180 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6704.0422
If we subtract 142 from 180, we get 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 quotient of the division is 6704.0422, and the remainder is 0.00038.
