We divide 252254 by 71
We want to divide 252254 by 71.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 252 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 252 3 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 213 away from 252, we end up with 39.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 392 / 71

On to step 4:
71 goes into 392 5 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 355 from 392 to get 37.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 375 / 71

Moving on to step 5:
71 can be fit into 375 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 355.0
If we take 355 away from 375, we end up with 20.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 204 / 71

On to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 204 2 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3552.0
Deduct 142 from 204 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 71 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3552.8
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 520 by 71, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3552.87
Subtract 497 from 520 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 71 fits into 230 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3552.873
Deduct 213 from 230 and we're left 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 10:
The number 71 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3552.8732
Deduct 142 from 170 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
71 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 67.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3552.87323
If we take 213 away from 280, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 670 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3552.873239
Deduct 639 from 670 and we're left 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 13:
If we divide 310 by 71, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3552.8732394
If we subtract 284 from 310, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 260 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 47.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3552.87323943
Deduct 213 from 260 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3552.87323943 with a remaining 4.7e-08.
