We're dividing 397493 by 71 
Our goal is to divide 397493 by 71.

On to step 1:
3 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
71 can be fit into 39 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 39 leaves us with 39.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 397 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 397 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 355 from 397.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 424 / 71

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 424 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 355 from 424 to get 69.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 699 / 71

Advancing to step 5:
71 can be fit into 699 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 559.0
If we take 639 away from 699, we end up with 60.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 603 / 71

Step 6:
If we divide 603 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 35.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5598.0
Deduct 568 from 603 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
71 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5598.4
Deduct 284 from 350 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 660 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5598.49
Subtract 639 from 660 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
71 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5598.492
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 142 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 71 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5598.4929
If we subtract 639 from 680, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 410 by 71, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5598.49295
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.

Step 12:
The number 71 fits into 550 7 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5598.492957
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
71 can be fit into 530 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5598.4929577
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.

Our division results in 5598.4929577 with a remaining 3.3e-07.
