Let's divide 305971 by 5
We want to divide 305971 by 5.

Moving on to step 1:
5 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 5

Advancing to step 2:
30 divided by 5 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 30 from 30 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 5 / 5

On to step 3:
5 divided by 5 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we take 5 away from 5, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 5

Step 4:
5 can be fit into 9 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 611.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 5 from 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 5

Advancing to step 5:
The number 5 fits into 47 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6119.0
Subtracting 45 from 47 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 5

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 21 by 5, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61194.0
Subtracting 20 from 21 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
5 goes into 10 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61194.2
If we subtract 10 from 10, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61194.2
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61194.2
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 61194.2 and a remainder of 0.0.
