We're dividing 218998 by 70 
We're looking to find how many times 70 goes into 218998.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 70, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 70

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 70, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 70

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 218 by 70, we get 3 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 210 from 218 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 70

Step 4:
89 divided by 70 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
Deduct 70 from 89 and we're left with 19.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 199 / 70

On to step 5:
The number 70 fits into 199 2 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 312.0
If we subtract 140 from 199, we get 59.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 598 / 70

Step 6:
70 can be fit into 598 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3128.0
Subtracting 560 from 598 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
70 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3128.5
Subtracting 350 from 380 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.

Moving on to step 8:
70 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3128.54
Subtract 280 from 300 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 200 by 70, we get 2 with a remainder of 60.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3128.542
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 600 by 70, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3128.5428
Deduct 560 from 600 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
70 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3128.54285
If we subtract 350 from 400, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 70 fits into 500 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3128.542857
Subtract 490 from 500 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 70, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3128.5428571
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 70 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
70 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3128.54285714
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.

The final result is 3128.54285714 with a remainder of 2e-08.
