Let's divide 301072 by 71
We want to divide 301072 by 71.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 71

On to step 2:
When dividing 30 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 301 / 71

On to step 3:
If we divide 301 by 71, we get 4 and a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 284 from 301, we get 17.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 170 / 71

On to step 4:
The number 71 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 142 from 170 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 287 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 71 fits into 287 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 424.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 284 from 287.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 32 / 71

On to step 6:
71 goes into 32 0 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4240.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 0 from 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 320 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4240.4
Subtracting 284 from 320 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 71, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4240.45
If we subtract 355 from 360, we get 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 9:
71 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4240.45
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 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 10:
71 can be fit into 500 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4240.4507
If we subtract 497 from 500, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 11:
71 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4240.4507
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4240.450704
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 284 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
160 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4240.4507042
If we take 142 away from 160, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 180 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4240.45070422
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 142 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4240.45070422 with a remaining 3.8e-08.
