We're dividing 221887 by 70 
Our goal is to divide 221887 by 70.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 70 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 70

Going ahead to step 2:
22 divided by 70 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 221 / 70

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 221 by 70, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 210 away from 221, we end up with 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 70

Step 4:
If we divide 118 by 70, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 70 from 118 to get 48.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 488 / 70

Step 5:
488 divided by 70 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 316.0
Subtract 420 from 488 to get 68.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 687 / 70

Let's proceed to step 6:
687 divided by 70 is 9 with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3169.0
Subtract 630 from 687 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
70 goes into 570 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3169.8
If we subtract 560 from 570, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
70 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3169.81
If we subtract 70 from 100, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
70 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3169.814
If we subtract 280 from 300, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 200 by 70, we get 2 with a remainder of 60.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3169.8142
If we subtract 140 from 200, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
70 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3169.81428
Subtracting 560 from 600 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
70 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3169.814285
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 350 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 13:
500 divided by 70 is 7 with a remainder of 10.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3169.8142857
Deduct 490 from 500 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 100 by 70, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3169.81428571
If we take 70 away from 100, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3169.81428571 with a balance of 3e-08.
