We're dividing 252031 by 71 
Our goal is to divide 252031 by 71.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 252 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
252 divided by 71 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 213 away from 252, we end up with 39.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 390 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
71 goes into 390 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 355 away from 390, we end up with 35.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 353 / 71

Step 5:
When dividing 353 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 354.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 284 from 353.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 691 / 71

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 691 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3549.0
Subtracting 639 from 691 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 71 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3549.7
Subtracting 497 from 520 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 230 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3549.73
Subtracting 213 from 230 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
170 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3549.732
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 142 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 71 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3549.7323
If we subtract 213 from 280, we get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
71 can be fit into 670 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3549.73239
If we take 639 away from 670, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 310 by 71, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3549.732394
Deduct 284 from 310 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 13:
71 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3549.7323943
If we subtract 213 from 260, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 470 by 71, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3549.73239436
Subtracting 426 from 470 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 3549.73239436 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
