We're dividing 72946 by 71 
We want to divide 72946 by 71.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 71

Moving on to step 2:
72 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 71 from 72 to get 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 71

Going ahead to step 3:
71 can be fit into 19 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 19 to get 19.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 194 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 194 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 102.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 142 from 194.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 526 / 71

Step 5:
If we divide 526 by 71, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1027.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 497 from 526.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
71 can be fit into 290 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1027.4
Subtracting 284 from 290 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
60 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1027.4
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 600 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1027.408
If we take 568 away from 600, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1027.4084
If we subtract 284 from 320, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 360 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1027.40845
Deduct 355 from 360 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 50 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1027.40845
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 12:
71 can be fit into 500 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1027.4084507
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 30 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1027.4084507
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1027.4084507 and a remainder of 3e-08.
