878986 divided by 71 
We want to divide 878986 by 71.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 71

Step 2:
71 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 71 from 87 leaves us with 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
71 goes into 168 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 142 from 168 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 269 / 71

Step 4:
71 can be fit into 269 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 123.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 213 from 269.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 568 / 71

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 568 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1238.0
Deduct 568 from 568 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12380.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
60 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12380.0
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 600 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12380.08
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 568 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
71 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12380.084
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:
360 divided by 71 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12380.0845
If we take 355 away from 360, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12380.0845
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
500 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12380.084507
Deduct 497 from 500 and we're left 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:
30 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12380.084507
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
300 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12380.08450704
Deduct 284 from 300 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12380.08450704, and the remainder is 1.6e-08.
