We divide 318972 by 71
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 318972.

Going ahead to step 1:
71 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 318 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 318 4 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 284 from 318 and we're left with 34.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 349 / 71

On to step 4:
349 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 65.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44.0
If we take 284 away from 349, we end up with 65.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 657 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
71 goes into 657 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 449.0
Deduct 639 from 657 and we're left with 18.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 182 / 71

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 182 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4492.0
Subtracting 142 from 182 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4492.5
Subtracting 355 from 400 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
450 divided by 71 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4492.56
Subtracting 426 from 450 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 240 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4492.563
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 213 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 270 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 57.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4492.5633
Deduct 213 from 270 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4492.5633, and the remainder is 0.00057.
