We divide 473498 by 71
We want to figure out the number of times 473498 can be divided by 71.

On to step 1:
71 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 71

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 473 / 71

On to step 3:
71 goes into 473 6 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 426 from 473, we get 47.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 474 / 71

Step 4:
When dividing 474 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 66.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 426 from 474.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 489 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 489 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 63.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 666.0
Subtract 426 from 489 to get 63.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 638 / 71

On to step 6:
638 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6668.0
If we take 568 away from 638, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
71 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6668.9
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 639 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
610 divided by 71 is 8 with a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6668.98
Deduct 568 from 610 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 71 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6668.985
If we subtract 355 from 420, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 650 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6668.9859
Subtracting 639 from 650 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
110 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6668.98591
Subtracting 71 from 110 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 390 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6668.985915
Deduct 355 from 390 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.

On to step 13:
350 divided by 71 is 4 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6668.9859154
If we take 284 away from 350, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 660 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6668.98591549
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.

The final result is 6668.98591549 with a remainder of 2.1e-08.
