We divide 140983 by 71
We want to figure out the number of times 140983 can be divided by 71.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 71

Moving on to step 2:
71 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 140 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 71 from 140 and we're left with 69.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 699 / 71

Advancing to step 4:
699 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 60.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 639 from 699 leaves us with 60.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 608 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
608 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 198.0
Deduct 568 from 608 and we're left with 40.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 403 / 71

Step 6:
If we divide 403 by 71, we get 5 and a remainder of 48.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1985.0
Subtract 355 from 403 to 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
71 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1985.6
Subtract 426 from 480 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
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: 1985.67
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 430 by 71, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1985.676
If we take 426 away from 430, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1985.676
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
71 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1985.67605
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
71 can be fit into 450 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1985.676056
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 240 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1985.6760563
Subtract 213 from 240 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 270 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 57.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1985.67605633
Deduct 213 from 270 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1985.67605633 and a remainder of 5.7e-08.
