We divide 974698 by 71
We want to divide 974698 by 71.

On to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 71

Moving on to step 2:
71 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 71 from 97 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 264 / 71

Step 3:
71 goes into 264 3 times with a remainder of 51.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 213 from 264.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 516 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 516 by 71, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 137.0
If we subtract 497 from 516, we get 19.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 199 / 71

Moving on to step 5:
The number 71 fits into 199 2 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1372.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 142 from 199.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 578 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 578 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13728.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 568 from 578.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
71 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13728.1
Subtract 71 from 100 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
71 can be fit into 290 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13728.14
If we subtract 284 from 290, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13728.14
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 600 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13728.1408
If we take 568 away from 600, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
71 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13728.14084
Subtract 284 from 320 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 360 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13728.140845
Subtracting 355 from 360 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 50 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13728.140845
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
500 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13728.14084507
If we take 497 away from 500, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 13728.14084507 with a balance of 3e-09.
