Let's divide 897993 by 71
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 897993.

Step 1:
The number 71 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 71

On to step 2:
When dividing 89 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 71 away from 89, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 187 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
71 can be fit into 187 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 142 from 187 to get 45.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 459 / 71

On to step 4:
The number 71 fits into 459 6 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 126.0
Subtract 426 from 459 to get 33.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 339 / 71

On to step 5:
The number 71 fits into 339 4 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1264.0
Subtracting 284 from 339 leaves us with 55.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 553 / 71

Let's proceed to step 6:
553 divided by 71 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12647.0
Deduct 497 from 553 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
71 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12647.7
Subtract 497 from 560 to get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 630 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 62.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12647.78
Subtracting 568 from 630 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 9:
620 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 52.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12647.788
Subtract 568 from 620 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12647.788 with a remaining 0.0052.
