We divide 166943 by 71
We want to figure out the number of times 166943 can be divided by 71.

Step 1:
1 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 166 / 71

On to step 3:
When dividing 166 by 71, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 142 from 166.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 249 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
249 divided by 71 is 3 with a remainder of 36.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 213 from 249 and we're left with 36.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 364 / 71

Moving on to step 5:
364 divided by 71 is 5 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 235.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 355 from 364.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 93 / 71

On to step 6:
If we divide 93 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2351.0
Deduct 71 from 93 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
71 goes into 220 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2351.3
If we subtract 213 from 220, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2351.3
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 71 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2351.309
Subtracting 639 from 700 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 610 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2351.3098
If we take 568 away from 610, we end up 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 11:
When dividing 420 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 65.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2351.30985
Subtract 355 from 420 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
71 goes into 650 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2351.309859
If we take 639 away from 650, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 110 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2351.3098591
If we subtract 71 from 110, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 390 by 71, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2351.30985915
If we take 355 away from 390, we end up 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.

Our division results in 2351.30985915 with a remaining 3.5e-08.
