We divide 252540 by 71
We want to figure out the number of times 252540 can be divided by 71.

Let's proceed to step 1:
71 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 71

On to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 252 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
71 goes into 252 3 times with a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 213 from 252 to get 39.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 395 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 395 by 71, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 355 from 395 and we're left with 40.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 404 / 71

On to step 5:
71 can be fit into 404 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 355.0
If we subtract 355 from 404, we get 49.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 490 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
490 divided by 71 is 6 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3556.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 426 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 640 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3556.9
Subtracting 639 from 640 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
10 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3556.9
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
71 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3556.901
Subtract 71 from 100 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 71 fits into 290 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3556.9014
Subtract 284 from 290 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3556.9014
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3556.901408
Subtract 568 from 600 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
320 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3556.9014084
Deduct 284 from 320 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
360 divided by 71 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3556.90140845
Subtracting 355 from 360 leaves us 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.

The final result is 3556.90140845 with a remainder of 5e-09.
