740501 ÷ 71 
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 740501.

Step 1:
71 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 71 from 74.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
71 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 305 / 71

Step 4:
When dividing 305 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 104.0
If we take 284 away from 305, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 210 / 71

On to step 5:
210 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1042.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 142 from 210.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 681 / 71

Step 6:
71 can be fit into 681 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10429.0
Subtracting 639 from 681 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
71 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10429.5
If we take 355 away from 420, we end up 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 8:
If we divide 650 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10429.59
Subtract 639 from 650 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
71 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10429.591
Deduct 71 from 110 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
390 divided by 71 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10429.5915
If we subtract 355 from 390, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10429.59154
Subtract 284 from 350 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 660 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10429.591549
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 639 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
71 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10429.5915492
Subtract 142 from 210 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
680 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10429.59154929
Subtract 639 from 680 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 10429.59154929 and a remainder of 4.1e-08.
