We divide 686297 by 71
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 686297.

Step 1:
If we divide 6 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
71 goes into 68 0 times with a remainder of 68.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 0 from 68.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 686 / 71

On to step 3:
71 goes into 686 9 times with a remainder of 47.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 639 from 686 and we're left with 47.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 472 / 71

On to step 4:
The number 71 fits into 472 6 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 96.0
If we subtract 426 from 472, we get 46.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 469 / 71

On to step 5:
When dividing 469 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 43.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 966.0
Subtracting 426 from 469 leaves us with 43.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 437 / 71

Step 6:
437 divided by 71 is 6 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9666.0
If we take 426 away from 437, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
110 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9666.1
If we take 71 away from 110, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
71 goes into 390 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9666.15
If we take 355 away from 390, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
350 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9666.154
If we take 284 away from 350, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
71 goes into 660 9 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9666.1549
If we subtract 639 from 660, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 210 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 68.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9666.15492
If we take 142 away from 210, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 680 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9666.154929
Subtracting 639 from 680 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 71 fits into 410 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9666.1549295
Deduct 355 from 410 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 550 by 71, we get 7 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9666.15492957
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 497 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 9666.15492957 with a balance of 5.3e-08.
