Let's divide 833987 by 71
We want to divide 833987 by 71.

Step 1:
8 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 83 / 71

Step 2:
71 can be fit into 83 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 71 away from 83, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 123 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
71 can be fit into 123 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 71 from 123 leaves us with 52.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 529 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
71 can be fit into 529 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 117.0
Deduct 497 from 529 and we're left with 32.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 328 / 71

Advancing to step 5:
328 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1174.0
Deduct 284 from 328 and we're left with 44.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 447 / 71

On to step 6:
If we divide 447 by 71, we get 6 and a remainder of 21.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11746.0
Subtract 426 from 447 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 210 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11746.2
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 142 from 210.
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 8:
If we divide 680 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 41.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11746.29
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 639 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 410 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11746.295
Subtracting 355 from 410 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
550 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11746.2957
Subtracting 497 from 550 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 530 by 71, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11746.29577
Subtract 497 from 530 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

The final result is 11746.29577 with a remainder of 3.3e-05.
