We look at the division of 8542965 by 71 
We want to divide 8542965 by 71.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 71

Moving on to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 85 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 71 from 85 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 144 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
71 goes into 144 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 142 from 144.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
22 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 120.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 229 / 71

Step 5:
The number 71 fits into 229 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1203.0
Deduct 213 from 229 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 166 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
71 goes into 166 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12032.0
If we subtract 142 from 166, we get 24.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 245 / 71

Moving on to step 7:
71 goes into 245 3 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120323.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 213 from 245.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
320 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 120323.4
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 284 from 320.

On to step 9:
71 can be fit into 360 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120323.45
Subtracting 355 from 360 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
50 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120323.45
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us 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 11:
71 goes into 500 7 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 120323.4507
If we subtract 497 from 500, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 71 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120323.4507
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
71 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 120323.450704
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 284 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
160 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 120323.4507042
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 142 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
71 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120323.45070422
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.
