235871 divided by 71 
Our goal is to divide 235871 by 71.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 71, we get 0 and 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.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
71 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 235 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
71 can be fit into 235 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 213 from 235.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 228 / 71

On to step 4:
71 can be fit into 228 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we subtract 213 from 228, we get 15.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 71

On to step 5:
71 goes into 157 2 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 332.0
Subtract 142 from 157 to get 15.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 151 / 71

Step 6:
If we divide 151 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 9.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3322.0
Deduct 142 from 151 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
71 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3322.1
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 71 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 71 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3322.12
If we subtract 142 from 190, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
71 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3322.126
If we subtract 426 from 480, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
71 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3322.1267
If we take 497 away from 540, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 430 by 71, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3322.12676
If we subtract 426 from 430, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3322.12676
Subtracting 0 from 40 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.

Moving on to step 13:
71 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3322.1267605
If we subtract 355 from 400, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 71 fits into 450 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3322.12676056
If we take 426 away from 450, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3322.12676056 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
