Let's divide 588974 by 71
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 588974.

Let's proceed to step 1:
71 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 71

On to step 2:
58 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 58, we get 58.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 588 / 71

Going ahead to step 3:
588 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 568 from 588 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 209 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
209 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 67.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82.0
If we take 142 away from 209, we end up with 67.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 67 and continue with: 677 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 677 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 829.0
Deduct 639 from 677 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 384 / 71

On to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 384 5 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8295.0
If we subtract 355 from 384, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 290 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8295.4
If we subtract 284 from 290, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
71 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8295.4
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 600 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8295.408
Deduct 568 from 600 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 320 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8295.4084
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 284 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
71 goes into 360 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8295.40845
If we take 355 away from 360, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 8295.40845
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 71 fits into 500 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8295.4084507
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
30 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8295.4084507
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8295.4084507 with a remaining 3e-08.
