Let's divide 259048 by 71
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 259048.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 71

Going ahead to step 2:
25 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 259 / 71

Going ahead to step 3:
71 goes into 259 3 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 213 from 259 to get 46.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 460 / 71

Step 4:
71 goes into 460 6 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 426 away from 460, we end up with 34.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
71 can be fit into 344 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 364.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 284 from 344.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 60 and continue with: 608 / 71

On to step 6:
If we divide 608 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3648.0
Subtracting 568 from 608 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 7:
The number 71 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3648.5
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.

Moving on to step 8:
71 goes into 450 6 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3648.56
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3648.563
If we subtract 213 from 240, we 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 270 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 57.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3648.5633
If we subtract 213 from 270, we 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 3648.5633 with a remainder of 0.00057.
