73823846 ÷ 257 
Our goal is to divide 73823846 by 257.

Step 1:
7 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 257

On to step 2:
73 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 73.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 73 and we're left with 73.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 738 / 257

Let's proceed to step 3:
738 divided by 257 is 2 with a remainder of 224.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 514 from 738 and we're left with 224.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 224 and repeat the process: 2242 / 257

Advancing to step 4:
257 goes into 2242 8 times with a remainder of 186.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 2056 from 2242 and we're left with 186.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 186 and continue: 1863 / 257

Step 5:
257 goes into 1863 7 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 287.0
If we subtract 1799 from 1863, we get 64.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 648 / 257

Let's proceed to step 6:
257 goes into 648 2 times with a remainder of 134.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2872.0
Subtract 514 from 648 to get 134.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 134, then repeat: 1344 / 257

Going ahead to step 7:
1344 divided by 257 is 5 with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28725.0
If we subtract 1285 from 1344, we get 59.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 596 / 257

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 596 by 257, we get 2 and a remainder of 82.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 287252.0
Subtracting 514 from 596 leaves us with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 820 by 257, we get 3 and a remainder of 49.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 287252.3
Deduct 771 from 820 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
257 goes into 490 1 times with a remainder of 233.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 287252.31
Subtracting 257 from 490 leaves us with 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2330, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 257 fits into 2330 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 287252.319
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 2313 from 2330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
257 goes into 170 0 times with a remainder of 170.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 287252.319
The remainder is 170 after subtracting 0 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 1700 by 257, we get 6 with a remainder of 158.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 287252.31906
Subtract 1542 from 1700 to get 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 1580 by 257, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 287252.319066
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 1542 from 1580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Our division results in 287252.319066 with a remaining 3.8e-06.
