Let's divide 296690 by 71
We want to divide 296690 by 71.

Step 1:
2 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 296 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 296 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 284 from 296, we get 12.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 126 / 71

On to step 4:
71 can be fit into 126 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we take 71 away from 126, we end up with 55.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 559 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
559 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 417.0
If we take 497 away from 559, we end up with 62.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 620 / 71

Moving on to step 6:
71 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4178.0
If we take 568 away from 620, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
71 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4178.7
Subtracting 497 from 520 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
71 can be fit into 230 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4178.73
Subtracting 213 from 230 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
71 can be fit into 170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4178.732
If we take 142 away from 170, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 280 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 67.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4178.7323
If we subtract 213 from 280, we get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 670 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4178.73239
Subtracting 639 from 670 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 310 by 71, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4178.732394
Subtract 284 from 310 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 260 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 47.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4178.7323943
If we subtract 213 from 260, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
71 goes into 470 6 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4178.73239436
If we take 426 away from 470, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4178.73239436, and the remainder is 4.4e-08.
