Let's divide 531504 by 71
We want to divide 531504 by 71.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 71

Step 2:
When dividing 53 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 53 to get 53.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 531 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 531 by 71, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 497 away from 531, we end up with 34.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 345 / 71

Step 4:
345 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 61.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74.0
Deduct 284 from 345 and we're left with 61.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 610 / 71

Step 5:
71 can be fit into 610 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 748.0
Subtracting 568 from 610 leaves us with 42.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 424 / 71

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 424 5 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7485.0
Subtract 355 from 424 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 690 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 51.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7485.9
If we subtract 639 from 690, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 510 by 71, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7485.97
If we take 497 away from 510, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 9:
130 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 59.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7485.971
Deduct 71 from 130 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 590 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7485.9718
If we take 568 away from 590, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7485.97183
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 213 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 70 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7485.97183
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 700 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 61.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7485.9718309
If we subtract 639 from 700, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 71 fits into 610 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7485.97183098
Subtract 568 from 610 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7485.97183098 with a remaining 4.2e-08.
