987470 divided by 71 
We want to figure out the number of times 987470 can be divided by 71.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 71

Going ahead to step 2:
98 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 71 from 98 leaves us with 27.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 277 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 277 3 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 213 from 277, we get 64.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 644 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 71 fits into 644 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139.0
Deduct 639 from 644 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 57 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 57.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1390.0
Subtracting 0 from 57 leaves us with 57.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 570 / 71

Let's proceed to step 6:
570 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13908.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 568 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 20 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13908.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13908.02
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 142 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 71 fits into 580 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13908.028
Subtracting 568 from 580 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
71 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 13908.0281
Deduct 71 from 120 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 490 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 64.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13908.02816
Deduct 426 from 490 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 640 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13908.028169
Subtract 639 from 640 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
71 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13908.028169
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
100 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13908.02816901
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.

After the division, we end up with 13908.02816901 and a remainder of 2.9e-08.
