Let's divide 542695 by 71
We want to divide 542695 by 71.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 71

Moving on to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 54, we get 54.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 542 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
71 goes into 542 7 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 497 from 542 leaves us with 45.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 456 / 71

Going ahead to step 4:
456 divided by 71 is 6 with a remainder of 30.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 76.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 426 from 456.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 309 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 309 by 71, we get 4 and a remainder of 25.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 764.0
Deduct 284 from 309 and we're left with 25.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 255 / 71

Let's proceed to step 6:
255 divided by 71 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7643.0
Subtract 213 from 255 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
71 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 65.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7643.5
Subtracting 355 from 420 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 650 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7643.59
Subtract 639 from 650 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 110 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7643.591
Subtract 71 from 110 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 10:
71 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7643.5915
If we take 355 away from 390, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7643.59154
Deduct 284 from 350 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 660 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7643.591549
Subtracting 639 from 660 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
71 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7643.5915492
Subtracting 142 from 210 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
71 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7643.59154929
If we take 639 away from 680, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7643.59154929 with a remaining 4.1e-08.
