235697 ÷ 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 235697 can be divided by 73.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
73 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 235 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
73 goes into 235 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 219 from 235 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
73 goes into 166 2 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 146 away from 166, we end up with 20.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 209 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
73 goes into 209 2 times with a remainder of 63.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 322.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 146 from 209.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 637 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
73 goes into 637 8 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3228.0
Deduct 584 from 637 and we're left with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
530 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3228.7
If we subtract 511 from 530, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
73 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3228.72
Deduct 146 from 190 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 440 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3228.726
If we take 438 away from 440, 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3228.726
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
73 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3228.72602
Subtracting 146 from 200 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 540 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3228.726027
If we subtract 511 from 540, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
290 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 71.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3228.7260273
If we take 219 away from 290, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 710 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3228.72602739
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 657 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

The final result is 3228.72602739 with a remainder of 5.3e-08.
