Let's divide 617451 by 71
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 617451.

Going ahead to step 1:
6 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 71

Step 2:
If we divide 61 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 61.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 61 to get 61.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 617 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
71 can be fit into 617 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 568 from 617, we get 49.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 494 / 71

Advancing to step 4:
71 goes into 494 6 times with a remainder of 68.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 86.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 426 from 494.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 685 / 71

On to step 5:
685 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 869.0
If we take 639 away from 685, we end up with 46.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 461 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
71 goes into 461 6 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8696.0
If we subtract 426 from 461, we get 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 7:
When dividing 350 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 66.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8696.4
If we subtract 284 from 350, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 660 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8696.49
Deduct 639 from 660 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 9:
210 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8696.492
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 680 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 41.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8696.4929
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 11:
71 can be fit into 410 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8696.49295
If we subtract 355 from 410, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
71 goes into 550 7 times with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8696.492957
Subtracting 497 from 550 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 530 by 71, we get 7 and a remainder of 33.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8696.4929577
Subtract 497 from 530 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8696.4929577, with a leftover of 3.3e-07.
