298858 ÷ 71 
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 298858.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 298 / 71

Going ahead to step 3:
298 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 284 from 298.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 148 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 148 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 142 from 148 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 65 / 71

Advancing to step 5:
71 can be fit into 65 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 420.0
If we take 0 away from 65, we end up with 65.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 658 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
71 can be fit into 658 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4209.0
If we take 639 away from 658, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
190 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4209.2
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 142 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
71 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 54.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4209.26
If we take 426 away from 480, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 540 by 71, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4209.267
Subtracting 497 from 540 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 71 fits into 430 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4209.2676
Subtracting 426 from 430 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
71 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4209.2676
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
71 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4209.267605
Subtracting 355 from 400 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
71 can be fit into 450 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4209.2676056
If we subtract 426 from 450, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
71 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4209.26760563
If we subtract 213 from 240, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4209.26760563 and a remainder of 2.7e-08.
