We're dividing 485997 by 71 
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 485997.

On to step 1:
71 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 71

On to step 2:
71 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 485 / 71

On to step 3:
485 divided by 71 is 6 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 426 from 485, we get 59.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 599 / 71

Step 4:
71 goes into 599 8 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we subtract 568 from 599, we get 31.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 319 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 319 by 71, we get 4 and a remainder of 35.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 684.0
Subtract 284 from 319 to get 35.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 357 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 357 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6845.0
If we take 355 away from 357, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6845.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
71 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6845.02
Subtract 142 from 200 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
71 goes into 580 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6845.028
Deduct 568 from 580 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
120 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6845.0281
Subtracting 71 from 120 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
71 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6845.02816
Deduct 426 from 490 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
71 can be fit into 640 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6845.028169
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 71 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6845.028169
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 14:
71 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6845.02816901
If we subtract 71 from 100, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6845.02816901 with a balance of 2.9e-08.
