62980 divided by 71 
Our goal is to divide 62980 by 71.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 62 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 62 0 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 62, we end up with 62.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 62 and repeat the process: 629 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 629 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 568 from 629 and we're left with 61.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 618 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
71 can be fit into 618 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtract 568 from 618 to get 50.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 500 / 71

Moving on to step 5:
The number 71 fits into 500 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 887.0
Subtracting 497 from 500 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 887.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
300 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 887.04
If we subtract 284 from 300, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
71 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 887.042
Subtract 142 from 160 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
71 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 887.0422
If we subtract 142 from 180, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 887.0422 and a remainder of 0.00038.
