We look at the division of 887986 by 71 
Our goal is to divide 887986 by 71.

Moving on to step 1:
8 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 71

On to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 88 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 71 from 88, we get 17.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 177 / 71

On to step 3:
71 goes into 177 2 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 142 from 177, we get 35.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 359 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
71 goes into 359 5 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 125.0
Subtract 355 from 359 to get 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 71

On to step 5:
48 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1250.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 486 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
71 can be fit into 486 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12506.0
If we subtract 426 from 486, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
600 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12506.8
If we subtract 568 from 600, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
71 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12506.84
Subtract 284 from 320 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12506.845
Deduct 355 from 360 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
71 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12506.845
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 500 by 71, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12506.84507
If we subtract 497 from 500, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
71 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12506.84507
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 71, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12506.8450704
Subtract 284 from 300 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 71 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12506.84507042
If we take 142 away from 160, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final result is 12506.84507042 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
