476972 ÷ 71 
Our goal is to divide 476972 by 71.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 476 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 476 6 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 426 away from 476, we end up with 50.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 509 / 71

Step 4:
509 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we subtract 497 from 509, we get 12.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 127 / 71

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 127 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 56.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 671.0
If we take 71 away from 127, we end up with 56.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 562 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
71 can be fit into 562 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6717.0
Subtract 497 from 562 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 650 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6717.9
If we take 639 away from 650, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6717.91
Deduct 71 from 110 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 71 fits into 390 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6717.915
If we take 355 away from 390, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 71 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6717.9154
Subtract 284 from 350 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 660 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6717.91549
Deduct 639 from 660 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 12:
210 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6717.915492
If we subtract 142 from 210, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
71 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 41.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6717.9154929
Subtracting 639 from 680 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 410 by 71, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6717.91549295
If we take 355 away from 410, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6717.91549295 and a remainder of 5.5e-08.
