We divide 71509859 by 948
Our goal is to divide 71509859 by 948.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 948, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 948

Step 2:
If we divide 71 by 948, we get 0 and a remainder of 71.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 0 from 71.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 715 / 948

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 715 by 948, we get 0 and a remainder of 715.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 715 after subtracting 0 from 715.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 715, then repeat: 7150 / 948

On to step 4:
When dividing 7150 by 948, we get 7 with a remainder of 514.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 6636 away from 7150, we end up with 514.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 514, then repeat: 5149 / 948

Going ahead to step 5:
948 can be fit into 5149 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 409.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtracting 4740 from 5149 leaves us with 409.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 409 and repeat the process: 4098 / 948

Moving on to step 6:
The number 948 fits into 4098 4 times, leaving a remainder of 306.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 754.0
Subtracting 3792 from 4098 leaves us with 306.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 306 and repeat the process: 3065 / 948

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 3065 by 948, we get 3 and a remainder of 221.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7543.0
Subtracting 2844 from 3065 leaves us with 221.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 221 and continue: 2219 / 948

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 2219 by 948, we get 2 with a remainder of 323.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 75432.0
Subtracting 1896 from 2219 leaves us with 323.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 948 fits into 3230 3 times, leaving a remainder of 386.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 75432.3
Subtract 2844 from 3230 to get 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 3860 by 948, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 75432.34
Subtracting 3792 from 3860 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.

Advancing to step 11:
680 divided by 948 is 0 with a remainder of 680.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 75432.34
If we subtract 0 from 680, we get 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 6800 by 948, we get 7 with a remainder of 164.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 75432.3407
Deduct 6636 from 6800 and we're left with 164.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
948 goes into 1640 1 times with a remainder of 692.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 75432.34071
If we subtract 948 from 1640, we get 692.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6920, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 948 fits into 6920 7 times, leaving a remainder of 284.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 75432.340717
The remainder is 284 after subtracting 6636 from 6920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 2840 by 948, we get 2 with a remainder of 944.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 75432.3407172
Subtracting 1896 from 2840 leaves us with 944.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9440, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
9440 divided by 948 is 9 with a remainder of 908.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 75432.34071729
Subtract 8532 from 9440 to get 908.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9080, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 75432.34071729 with a balance of 9.08e-07.
