Let's divide 656739 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 656739 can be divided by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
73 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 65 / 73

On to step 2:
73 goes into 65 0 times with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 65, we end up with 65.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 656 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 656 8 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 584 from 656 leaves us with 72.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 727 / 73

On to step 4:
If we divide 727 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 70.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 89.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 657 from 727.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 703 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
73 can be fit into 703 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 899.0
Deduct 657 from 703 and we're left with 46.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 469 / 73

Step 6:
73 goes into 469 6 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8996.0
Subtract 438 from 469 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
73 can be fit into 310 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8996.4
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 292 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
73 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8996.42
Subtract 146 from 180 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
340 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8996.424
If we take 292 away from 340, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8996.4246
If we take 438 away from 480, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
420 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8996.42465
Subtracting 365 from 420 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
73 can be fit into 550 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8996.424657
Subtract 511 from 550 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
73 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8996.4246575
If we take 365 away from 390, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
73 goes into 250 3 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8996.42465753
Subtract 219 from 250 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8996.42465753, and the remainder is 3.1e-08.
