Let's divide 887727 by 71
We want to divide 887727 by 71.

On to step 1:
71 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 88 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 71 away from 88, we end up with 17.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 177 / 71

Step 3:
If we divide 177 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 35.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 142 away from 177, we end up with 35.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 357 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 357 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 125.0
If we take 355 away from 357, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 71

Step 5:
71 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1250.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 227 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 227 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12503.0
Subtracting 213 from 227 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12503.1
If we take 71 away from 140, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
71 can be fit into 690 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12503.19
Deduct 639 from 690 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 9:
71 can be fit into 510 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12503.197
Deduct 497 from 510 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 130 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12503.1971
Subtract 71 from 130 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
71 can be fit into 590 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12503.19718
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 568 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12503.197183
Subtracting 213 from 220 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
71 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12503.197183
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
71 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12503.19718309
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 639 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 12503.19718309, with a leftover of 6.1e-08.
