We're dividing 972717 by 73 
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 972717.

Let's proceed to step 1:
73 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 73 away from 97, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
73 goes into 242 3 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 219 from 242.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 237 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
73 can be fit into 237 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 133.0
Deduct 219 from 237 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 181 / 73

Step 5:
73 can be fit into 181 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1332.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 146 from 181.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 357 / 73

Step 6:
The number 73 fits into 357 4 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13324.0
If we take 292 away from 357, we end up with 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 7:
73 goes into 650 8 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13324.8
If we take 584 away from 650, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
73 can be fit into 660 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13324.89
Subtract 657 from 660 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 9:
73 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13324.89
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
73 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13324.8904
If we take 292 away from 300, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
73 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13324.89041
If we subtract 73 from 80, 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.

On to step 12:
70 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13324.89041
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
73 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 43.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13324.8904109
Subtracting 657 from 700 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 14:
73 can be fit into 430 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13324.89041095
If we take 365 away from 430, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 13324.89041095, and the remainder is 6.5e-08.
