We're dividing 215240 by 71 
Our goal is to divide 215240 by 71.

Going ahead to step 1:
71 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 71

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 215 / 71

Step 3:
71 can be fit into 215 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 213 from 215.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 71

Advancing to step 4:
71 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 22 leaves us with 22.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 224 / 71

Step 5:
224 divided by 71 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 303.0
Subtract 213 from 224 to get 11.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 110 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
71 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3031.0
If we take 71 away from 110, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 390 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3031.5
If we subtract 355 from 390, we get 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 8:
If we divide 350 by 71, we get 4 and a remainder of 66.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3031.54
If we subtract 284 from 350, we get 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 9:
If we divide 660 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3031.549
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.

Step 10:
71 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3031.5492
Subtracting 142 from 210 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
71 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3031.54929
If we take 639 away from 680, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
71 goes into 410 5 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3031.549295
Subtracting 355 from 410 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 550 by 71, we get 7 with a remainder of 53.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3031.5492957
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.

Step 14:
If we divide 530 by 71, we get 7 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3031.54929577
If we take 497 away from 530, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3031.54929577 with a balance of 3.3e-08.
