We look at the division of 299924 by 71 
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 299924.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
71 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 299 / 71

On to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 299 4 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 284 away from 299, we end up with 15.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 159 / 71

Advancing to step 4:
159 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 142 from 159 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 172 / 71

Moving on to step 5:
172 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 422.0
Subtract 142 from 172 to get 30.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 304 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 304 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4224.0
Subtract 284 from 304 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 200 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 58.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4224.2
If we take 142 away from 200, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4224.28
Subtracting 568 from 580 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
120 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4224.281
Subtract 71 from 120 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 71 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4224.2816
Subtract 426 from 490 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
640 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4224.28169
Subtract 639 from 640 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
10 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4224.28169
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4224.2816901
Subtract 71 from 100 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 290 by 71, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4224.28169014
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 284 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4224.28169014 and a remainder of 6e-09.
