We divide 548454 by 71
Our goal is to divide 548454 by 71.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 71

Moving on to step 2:
54 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 54, we end up with 54.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 548 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 548 7 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 497 from 548, we get 51.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 514 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
514 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 77.0
If we subtract 497 from 514, we get 17.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 175 / 71

On to step 5:
175 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 33.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 772.0
If we subtract 142 from 175, we get 33.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 334 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
334 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7724.0
Subtracting 284 from 334 leaves us 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 7:
When dividing 500 by 71, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7724.7
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.

Step 8:
71 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7724.7
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.

On to step 9:
300 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7724.704
Deduct 284 from 300 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7724.7042
If we subtract 142 from 160, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 180 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7724.70422
If we subtract 142 from 180, we 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.

Our division results in 7724.70422 with a remaining 3.8e-05.
