We divide 259989 by 70
Our goal is to divide 259989 by 70.

Step 1:
70 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 70

Moving on to step 2:
25 divided by 70 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 259 / 70

Going ahead to step 3:
70 can be fit into 259 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 210 from 259 to get 49.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 499 / 70

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 499 by 70, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we subtract 490 from 499, we get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 70

Step 5:
If we divide 98 by 70, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 371.0
Deduct 70 from 98 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 289 / 70

Advancing to step 6:
70 can be fit into 289 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3714.0
Subtracting 280 from 289 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
90 divided by 70 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3714.1
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 70 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
70 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3714.12
Subtracting 140 from 200 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
70 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3714.128
If we take 560 away from 600, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 70, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3714.1285
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 11:
When dividing 500 by 70, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3714.12857
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 490 from 500.
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 12:
100 divided by 70 is 1 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3714.128571
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.

Moving on to step 13:
70 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3714.1285714
If we take 280 away from 300, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 200 by 70, we get 2 with a remainder of 60.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3714.12857142
Deduct 140 from 200 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final result is 3714.12857142 with a remainder of 6e-08.
