We're dividing 494748 by 71 
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 494748.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 494 / 71

Step 3:
494 divided by 71 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 426 from 494, we get 68.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 687 / 71

On to step 4:
71 can be fit into 687 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 69.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 639 from 687.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 484 / 71

Step 5:
71 can be fit into 484 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 696.0
Deduct 426 from 484 and we're left with 58.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 588 / 71

Step 6:
588 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6968.0
Subtracting 568 from 588 leaves us with 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 7:
The number 71 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6968.2
If we subtract 142 from 200, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 580 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6968.28
If we subtract 568 from 580, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
71 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6968.281
Subtracting 71 from 120 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
71 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6968.2816
If we take 426 away from 490, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 11:
640 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6968.28169
If we subtract 639 from 640, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
71 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6968.28169
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 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 13:
71 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6968.2816901
If we take 71 away from 100, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 14:
71 can be fit into 290 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6968.28169014
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 284 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6968.28169014 with a balance of 6e-09.
