We're dividing 71838858 by 124 
We want to figure out the number of times 71838858 can be divided by 124.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 124, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 124

Let's proceed to step 2:
124 goes into 71 0 times with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 0 from 71.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 718 / 124

On to step 3:
124 can be fit into 718 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 98.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 620 from 718, we get 98.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 98, then repeat: 983 / 124

Moving on to step 4:
The number 124 fits into 983 7 times, leaving a remainder of 115.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 868 from 983, we get 115.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 115, then carry on: 1158 / 124

Let's proceed to step 5:
1158 divided by 124 is 9 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 579.0
If we take 1116 away from 1158, we end up with 42.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 428 / 124

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 428 by 124, we get 3 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5793.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 372 from 428.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 565 / 124

Advancing to step 7:
The number 124 fits into 565 4 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57934.0
Subtract 496 from 565 to get 69.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 698 / 124

Going ahead to step 8:
124 can be fit into 698 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 579345.0
If we take 620 away from 698, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 124 fits into 780 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 579345.6
Deduct 744 from 780 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
124 can be fit into 360 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 112.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 579345.62
The remainder is 112 after subtracting 248 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 1120 by 124, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 579345.629
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 1116 from 1120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
124 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 579345.629
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 400 by 124, we get 3 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 579345.62903
If we take 372 away from 400, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 124, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 579345.629032
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 248 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 124 fits into 320 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 579345.6290322
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 248 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 579345.6290322 with a remaining 7.2e-07.
