We look at the division of 978735 by 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 978735 can be divided by 73.

Step 1:
73 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 73

Step 2:
73 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 73 from 97 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
248 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 219 from 248 leaves us with 29.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 297 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 297 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 134.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 292 from 297.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 73

Step 5:
When dividing 53 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1340.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 535 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
535 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13407.0
Deduct 511 from 535 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
73 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13407.3
If we take 219 away from 240, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
210 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13407.32
Deduct 146 from 210 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 9:
640 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13407.328
Deduct 584 from 640 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
73 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 13407.3287
Subtract 511 from 560 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
73 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 52.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13407.32876
Subtracting 438 from 490 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
73 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13407.328767
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 511 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13407.3287671
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 73 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
170 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13407.32876712
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 146 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13407.32876712 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
