71286 divided by 4 
We want to divide 71286 by 4.

On to step 1:
4 can be fit into 7 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 4 from 7, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 4

Step 2:
When dividing 31 by 4, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 28 from 31 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 4

Step 3:
4 goes into 32 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 178.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 32 from 32.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 4

Step 4:
8 divided by 4 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1782.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 6 / 4

Moving on to step 5:
6 divided by 4 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17821.0
If we take 4 away from 6, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
4 goes into 20 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17821.5
If we take 20 away from 20, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17821.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17821.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17821.5 with a balance of 0.0.
