Let's divide 259998 by 70
Our goal is to divide 259998 by 70.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 70, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 70

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 70 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 259 / 70

On to step 3:
70 goes into 259 3 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 210 away from 259, we end up with 49.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 499 / 70

Moving on to step 4:
70 goes into 499 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 490 from 499 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 70

Advancing to step 5:
99 divided by 70 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 371.0
Deduct 70 from 99 and we're left with 29.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 298 / 70

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 298 by 70, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3714.0
If we subtract 280 from 298, we get 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 7:
180 divided by 70 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3714.2
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 140 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 400 by 70, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3714.25
Subtracting 350 from 400 leaves us 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 9:
70 can be fit into 500 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3714.257
If we subtract 490 from 500, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 100 by 70, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3714.2571
Subtracting 70 from 100 leaves us 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 11:
70 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3714.25714
If we take 280 away from 300, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
200 divided by 70 is 2 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3714.257142
Deduct 140 from 200 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 600 by 70, we get 8 with a remainder of 40.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3714.2571428
Subtracting 560 from 600 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
70 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3714.25714285
Subtracting 350 from 400 leaves us 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.

The final result is 3714.25714285 with a remainder of 5e-08.
