Let's divide 71731974 by 861
We want to divide 71731974 by 861.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 861 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
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 / 861

Advancing to step 2:
861 goes into 71 0 times with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 71 to get 71.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 717 / 861

Moving on to step 3:
861 can be fit into 717 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 717.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 717, we end up with 717.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 717 and repeat the process: 7173 / 861

Let's proceed to step 4:
7173 divided by 861 is 8 with a remainder of 285.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 6888 away from 7173, we end up with 285.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 285, then repeat: 2851 / 861

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 861 fits into 2851 3 times, leaving a remainder of 268.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 83.0
The remainder is 268 after subtracting 2583 from 2851.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 268 and continue with: 2689 / 861

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 2689 by 861, we get 3 and a remainder of 106.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 833.0
The remainder is 106 after subtracting 2583 from 2689.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 106 and continue: 1067 / 861

On to step 7:
861 can be fit into 1067 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 206.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8331.0
Subtract 861 from 1067 to get 206.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 206 and continue: 2064 / 861

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 2064 by 861, we get 2 with a remainder of 342.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 83312.0
Subtract 1722 from 2064 to get 342.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
3420 divided by 861 is 3 with a remainder of 837.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 83312.3
Deduct 2583 from 3420 and we're left with 837.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8370, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 8370 by 861, we get 9 and a remainder of 621.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 83312.39
Subtracting 7749 from 8370 leaves us with 621.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
861 can be fit into 6210 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 183.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 83312.397
Deduct 6027 from 6210 and we're left with 183.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1830, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
1830 divided by 861 is 2 with a remainder of 108.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 83312.3972
If we subtract 1722 from 1830, we get 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
861 goes into 1080 1 times with a remainder of 219.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 83312.39721
If we subtract 861 from 1080, we get 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2190, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 2190 by 861, we get 2 with a remainder of 468.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 83312.397212
Subtract 1722 from 2190 to get 468.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4680, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 4680 by 861, we get 5 and a remainder of 375.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 83312.3972125
Subtracting 4305 from 4680 leaves us with 375.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 3750 by 861, we get 4 and a remainder of 306.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 83312.39721254
Subtract 3444 from 3750 to get 306.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3060, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 83312.39721254 with a balance of 3.06e-07.
