We're dividing 387871 by 71 
Our goal is to divide 387871 by 71.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 38 0 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 38, we get 38.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 387 / 71

On to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 387 5 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 355 away from 387, we end up with 32.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 328 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
71 goes into 328 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 284 from 328 and we're left with 44.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 447 / 71

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 447 by 71, we get 6 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 546.0
Subtract 426 from 447 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 211 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
71 can be fit into 211 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5462.0
If we take 142 away from 211, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 690 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 51.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5462.9
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 639 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 510 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5462.97
Subtracting 497 from 510 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 130 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 59.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5462.971
If we take 71 away from 130, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
71 can be fit into 590 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5462.9718
Subtract 568 from 590 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
220 divided by 71 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5462.97183
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 213 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
71 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5462.97183
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
71 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 61.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5462.9718309
Subtracting 639 from 700 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
71 can be fit into 610 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5462.97183098
Deduct 568 from 610 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5462.97183098, with a leftover of 4.2e-08.
