Let's divide 981279 by 71
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 981279.

Step 1:
71 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
71 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 71 from 98 and we're left with 27.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 271 / 71

Step 3:
71 goes into 271 3 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 213 away from 271, we end up with 58.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 582 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
71 goes into 582 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 138.0
Subtract 568 from 582 to get 14.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 147 / 71

On to step 5:
When dividing 147 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1382.0
If we subtract 142 from 147, we get 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 71

Step 6:
When dividing 59 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 59.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13820.0
If we take 0 away from 59, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 590 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13820.8
Deduct 568 from 590 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13820.83
Subtract 213 from 220 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
71 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13820.83
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 10:
700 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 61.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13820.8309
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
71 goes into 610 8 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13820.83098
Deduct 568 from 610 and we're left 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 12:
420 divided by 71 is 5 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13820.830985
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 355 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 650 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13820.8309859
If we take 639 away from 650, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
The number 71 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13820.83098591
Subtract 71 from 110 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13820.83098591 and a remainder of 3.9e-08.
