284977 divided by 71 
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 284977.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
71 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 284 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
71 can be fit into 284 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 284 from 284 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 71

Step 4:
71 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 71

On to step 5:
If we divide 97 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 401.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 71 from 97.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 267 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 267 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4013.0
Subtracting 213 from 267 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4013.7
If we subtract 497 from 540, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 8:
430 divided by 71 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4013.76
Subtracting 426 from 430 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 71 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4013.76
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 71 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4013.7605
Subtract 355 from 400 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
71 can be fit into 450 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4013.76056
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 426 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 240 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4013.760563
If we take 213 away from 240, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
71 goes into 270 3 times with a remainder of 57.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4013.7605633
Subtract 213 from 270 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

The final result is 4013.7605633 with a remainder of 5.7e-07.
