We divide 86993 by 71
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 86993.

On to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 86 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 71 from 86.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 159 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
159 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 142 from 159 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 179 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 37.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we take 142 away from 179, we end up with 37.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 373 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 373 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 18.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1225.0
If we subtract 355 from 373, 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.

On to step 6:
If we divide 180 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 38.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1225.2
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 142 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
380 divided by 71 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1225.25
Deduct 355 from 380 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
71 goes into 250 3 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1225.253
Subtracting 213 from 250 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
71 can be fit into 370 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1225.2535
If we subtract 355 from 370, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 150 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1225.25352
Subtract 142 from 150 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
80 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1225.253521
If we take 71 away from 80, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 90 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1225.2535211
Deduct 71 from 90 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

The final result is 1225.2535211 with a remainder of 1.9e-07.
