We're dividing 271973 by 70 
We're looking to find how many times 70 goes into 271973.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 70 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 70

Step 2:
When dividing 27 by 70, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 271 / 70

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 271 by 70, we get 3 with a remainder of 61.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 210 away from 271, we end up with 61.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 619 / 70

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 70 fits into 619 8 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 560 from 619 leaves us with 59.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 597 / 70

Let's proceed to step 5:
70 can be fit into 597 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 388.0
Deduct 560 from 597 and we're left with 37.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 373 / 70

Going ahead to step 6:
70 goes into 373 5 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3885.0
Subtract 350 from 373 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 230 by 70, we get 3 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3885.3
Subtract 210 from 230 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
70 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3885.32
Subtract 140 from 200 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 9:
The number 70 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3885.328
Subtract 560 from 600 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 70 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3885.3285
If we subtract 350 from 400, we get 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 11:
70 goes into 500 7 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3885.32857
If we take 490 away from 500, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
70 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3885.328571
If we take 70 away from 100, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 70, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3885.3285714
Subtracting 280 from 300 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 70, we get 2 and a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3885.32857142
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 140 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3885.32857142 with a remaining 6e-08.
