We divide 968996 by 71
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 968996.

Advancing to step 1:
71 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 96 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
71 goes into 96 1 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 71 from 96 to get 25.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 258 / 71

On to step 3:
If we divide 258 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 213 away from 258, we end up with 45.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 459 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
459 divided by 71 is 6 with a remainder of 33.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 136.0
Deduct 426 from 459 and we're left with 33.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 339 / 71

Advancing to step 5:
339 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 55.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1364.0
Deduct 284 from 339 and we're left with 55.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 556 / 71

Step 6:
71 goes into 556 7 times with a remainder of 59.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13647.0
Deduct 497 from 556 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 590 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13647.8
If we take 568 away from 590, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13647.83
If we subtract 213 from 220, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 70 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13647.83
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 700 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 61.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13647.8309
If we take 639 away from 700, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 610 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13647.83098
Subtract 568 from 610 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
420 divided by 71 is 5 with a remainder of 65.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13647.830985
Subtracting 355 from 420 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
71 can be fit into 650 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13647.8309859
Subtracting 639 from 650 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 71 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13647.83098591
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 71 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 13647.83098591 with a balance of 3.9e-08.
