Let's divide 42596481 by 71
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 42596481.

Let's proceed to step 1:
71 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 71

Step 2:
The number 71 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 425 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 425 by 71, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 355 from 425 and we're left with 70.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 709 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 709 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtract 639 from 709 to get 70.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 706 / 71

On to step 5:
The number 71 fits into 706 9 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 599.0
Deduct 639 from 706 and we're left with 67.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 674 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 674 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5999.0
Deduct 639 from 674 and we're left with 35.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 358 / 71

Step 7:
When dividing 358 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59995.0
Subtract 355 from 358 to get 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 71

On to step 8:
31 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 599950.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
310 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 599950.4
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 284 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
71 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 599950.43
Subtract 213 from 260 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
71 can be fit into 470 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 599950.436
If we take 426 away from 470, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
71 goes into 440 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 599950.4366
Subtracting 426 from 440 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 599950.4366 and a remainder of 0.00014.
