208918 divided by 71 
We want to figure out the number of times 208918 can be divided by 71.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 71

Step 2:
20 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 208 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
71 goes into 208 2 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 142 from 208 leaves us with 66.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 669 / 71

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 669 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 639 from 669 leaves us with 30.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 301 / 71

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 301 by 71, we get 4 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 294.0
Deduct 284 from 301 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 178 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2942.0
Subtract 142 from 178 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 360 by 71, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2942.5
If we subtract 355 from 360, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
71 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2942.5
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 71 fits into 500 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2942.507
If we take 497 away from 500, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
71 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2942.507
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2942.50704
If we subtract 284 from 300, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 71 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2942.507042
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 142 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
180 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2942.5070422
Subtract 142 from 180 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2942.5070422 with a balance of 3.8e-07.
