We're dividing 233709 by 71 
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 233709.

Advancing to step 1:
71 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 71

Step 2:
71 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 233 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 233 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 20.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 213 from 233, we get 20.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 207 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
207 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 65.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 142 from 207.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 650 / 71

Advancing to step 5:
The number 71 fits into 650 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 329.0
If we subtract 639 from 650, we get 11.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 119 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 119 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3291.0
Subtracting 71 from 119 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 480 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 54.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3291.6
Subtract 426 from 480 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3291.67
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 497 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 430 by 71, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3291.676
If we subtract 426 from 430, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 71 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3291.676
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 71, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3291.67605
Deduct 355 from 400 and we're left 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 12:
When dividing 450 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3291.676056
Deduct 426 from 450 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
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: 3291.6760563
Subtracting 213 from 240 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 71 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3291.67605633
Subtract 213 from 270 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3291.67605633 with a remaining 5.7e-08.
