Let's divide 189872 by 71
We want to divide 189872 by 71.

Moving on to step 1:
71 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 71

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 18 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 189 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
71 goes into 189 2 times with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 142 away from 189, we end up with 47.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 478 / 71

On to step 4:
478 divided by 71 is 6 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 426 from 478 and we're left with 52.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 527 / 71

On to step 5:
When dividing 527 by 71, we get 7 with a remainder of 30.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 267.0
Subtract 497 from 527 to get 30.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 302 / 71

Step 6:
71 goes into 302 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2674.0
Deduct 284 from 302 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
71 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2674.2
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 142 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 71, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2674.25
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 355 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 71 fits into 250 3 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2674.253
Subtract 213 from 250 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 71 fits into 370 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2674.2535
Subtracting 355 from 370 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2674.25352
If we take 142 away from 150, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2674.253521
Subtracting 71 from 80 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 90 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2674.2535211
If we subtract 71 from 90, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2674.2535211, with a leftover of 1.9e-07.
