We're dividing 71498843 by 331 
We want to divide 71498843 by 331.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 331, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 331

Step 2:
The number 331 fits into 71 0 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 0 from 71.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 714 / 331

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 714 by 331, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 662 from 714 and we're left with 52.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 529 / 331

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 529 by 331, we get 1 and a remainder of 198.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 331 from 529, we get 198.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 198 and continue with: 1988 / 331

Moving on to step 5:
331 can be fit into 1988 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 216.0
Subtracting 1986 from 1988 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 331

Step 6:
If we divide 28 by 331, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2160.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 284 / 331

Step 7:
When dividing 284 by 331, we get 0 with a remainder of 284.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21600.0
Subtract 0 from 284 to get 284.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 284, then repeat: 2843 / 331

Step 8:
When dividing 2843 by 331, we get 8 with a remainder of 195.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 216008.0
Subtracting 2648 from 2843 leaves us with 195.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
1950 divided by 331 is 5 with a remainder of 295.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 216008.5
If we subtract 1655 from 1950, we get 295.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
331 goes into 2950 8 times with a remainder of 302.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 216008.58
Subtract 2648 from 2950 to get 302.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3020, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 3020 by 331, we get 9 and a remainder of 41.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 216008.589
Deduct 2979 from 3020 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
331 goes into 410 1 times with a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 216008.5891
The remainder is 79 after subtracting 331 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
331 goes into 790 2 times with a remainder of 128.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 216008.58912
If we take 662 away from 790, we end up with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
331 goes into 1280 3 times with a remainder of 287.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 216008.589123
The remainder is 287 after subtracting 993 from 1280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2870, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
331 can be fit into 2870 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 222.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 216008.5891238
Subtracting 2648 from 2870 leaves us with 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
331 can be fit into 2220 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 234.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 216008.58912386
If we take 1986 away from 2220, we end up with 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 216008.58912386 with a remaining 2.34e-07.
