We divide 7141178 by 421
We want to divide 7141178 by 421.

Step 1:
421 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 421

Going ahead to step 2:
421 goes into 71 0 times with a remainder of 71.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 71 leaves us with 71.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 714 / 421

Step 3:
When dividing 714 by 421, we get 1 with a remainder of 293.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 421 away from 714, we end up with 293.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 293, then repeat: 2931 / 421

Moving on to step 4:
2931 divided by 421 is 6 with a remainder of 405.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 2526 from 2931 leaves us with 405.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 405, then repeat: 4051 / 421

Advancing to step 5:
4051 divided by 421 is 9 with a remainder of 262.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 169.0
If we subtract 3789 from 4051, we get 262.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 262 and continue: 2627 / 421

On to step 6:
The number 421 fits into 2627 6 times, leaving a remainder of 101.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1696.0
If we subtract 2526 from 2627, we get 101.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 101 and repeat the process: 1018 / 421

On to step 7:
1018 divided by 421 is 2 with a remainder of 176.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16962.0
If we take 842 away from 1018, we end up with 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 1760 by 421, we get 4 and a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 16962.4
Deduct 1684 from 1760 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
421 goes into 760 1 times with a remainder of 339.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16962.41
Subtracting 421 from 760 leaves us with 339.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 421 fits into 3390 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16962.418
If we subtract 3368 from 3390, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 220 by 421, we get 0 with a remainder of 220.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16962.418
Subtract 0 from 220 to get 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
421 can be fit into 2200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 95.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16962.41805
Subtract 2105 from 2200 to get 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 950 by 421, we get 2 and a remainder of 108.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16962.418052
If we take 842 away from 950, we end up with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Step 14:
1080 divided by 421 is 2 with a remainder of 238.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16962.4180522
Subtract 842 from 1080 to get 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16962.4180522 with a balance of 2.38e-06.
