We divide 588231 by 71
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 588231.

Going ahead to step 1:
71 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 71

Moving on to step 2:
71 can be fit into 58 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 58 leaves us with 58.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 588 / 71

On to step 3:
588 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 568 from 588.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 202 / 71

Step 4:
If we divide 202 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtracting 142 from 202 leaves us with 60.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 603 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 603 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 35.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 828.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 568 from 603.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 351 / 71

On to step 6:
71 goes into 351 4 times with a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8284.0
Subtracting 284 from 351 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
670 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8284.9
If we subtract 639 from 670, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 310 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8284.94
If we subtract 284 from 310, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 260 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 47.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8284.943
Subtract 213 from 260 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
71 goes into 470 6 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8284.9436
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 426 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 440 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8284.94366
If we subtract 426 from 440, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 8284.94366 with a remainder of 1.4e-05.
