We're dividing 37831 by 71 
Our goal is to divide 37831 by 71.

Step 1:
When dividing 3 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 71

Step 2:
71 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 37 to get 37.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 378 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 378 by 71, we get 5 and a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 355 away from 378, we end up with 23.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 233 / 71

On to step 4:
233 divided by 71 is 3 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we subtract 213 from 233, we get 20.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 201 / 71

Moving on to step 5:
71 can be fit into 201 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 532.0
Subtract 142 from 201 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 6:
When dividing 590 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 532.8
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.

Advancing to step 7:
220 divided by 71 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 532.83
Deduct 213 from 220 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 70 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 532.83
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 700 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 61.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 532.8309
If we subtract 639 from 700, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 71 fits into 610 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 532.83098
Subtract 568 from 610 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 420 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 532.830985
If we subtract 355 from 420, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 650 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 532.8309859
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 639 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
71 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 532.83098591
If we take 71 away from 110, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 532.83098591, with a leftover of 3.9e-08.
