285388 ÷ 70 
We want to divide 285388 by 70.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 70, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 70

On to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 70, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 285 / 70

Step 3:
If we divide 285 by 70, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 280 from 285 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 70

Step 4:
The number 70 fits into 53 0 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtract 0 from 53 to get 53.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 538 / 70

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 538 by 70, we get 7 with a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 407.0
If we take 490 away from 538, we end up with 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 70

On to step 6:
70 goes into 488 6 times with a remainder of 68.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4076.0
If we take 420 away from 488, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 680 by 70, we get 9 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4076.9
Subtracting 630 from 680 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
500 divided by 70 is 7 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4076.97
Subtract 490 from 500 to get 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 9:
The number 70 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4076.971
If we subtract 70 from 100, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 300 by 70, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4076.9714
Subtract 280 from 300 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.

Moving on to step 11:
70 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4076.97142
If we take 140 away from 200, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
600 divided by 70 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4076.971428
Subtracting 560 from 600 leaves us with 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 13:
400 divided by 70 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4076.9714285
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 350 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 500 by 70, we get 7 and a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4076.97142857
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.

After the division, we end up with 4076.97142857 and a remainder of 1e-08.
