71985 ÷ 70 
We want to divide 71985 by 70.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 70, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 70

Let's proceed to step 2:
70 can be fit into 71 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 70 from 71 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 70

Going ahead to step 3:
70 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 70

On to step 4:
70 goes into 198 2 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 102.0
If we subtract 140 from 198, we get 58.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 585 / 70

On to step 5:
When dividing 585 by 70, we get 8 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1028.0
If we subtract 560 from 585, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
70 goes into 250 3 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1028.3
If we take 210 away from 250, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 400 by 70, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1028.35
Deduct 350 from 400 and we're left 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:
70 goes into 500 7 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1028.357
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 490 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 70, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1028.3571
If we take 70 away from 100, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 70, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1028.35714
If we subtract 280 from 300, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
70 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1028.357142
Deduct 140 from 200 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 600 by 70, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1028.3571428
If we take 560 away from 600, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 70 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1028.35714285
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 350 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1028.35714285 with a remaining 5e-08.
