We're dividing 331489 by 73 
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 331489.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 33 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 33.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 33, we end up with 33.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 331 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 331 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 292 from 331 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 394 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
394 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 29.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtracting 365 from 394 leaves us with 29.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 298 / 73

Step 5:
The number 73 fits into 298 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 454.0
If we subtract 292 from 298, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 69 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4540.0
Deduct 0 from 69 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 690 9 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4540.9
Subtract 657 from 690 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
73 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4540.94
Deduct 292 from 330 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
380 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4540.945
If we take 365 away from 380, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 10:
73 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4540.9452
If we subtract 146 from 150, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
73 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4540.9452
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4540.945205
Subtracting 365 from 400 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 350 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 58.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4540.9452054
If we subtract 292 from 350, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
73 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 69.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4540.94520547
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 511 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4540.94520547 with a remaining 6.9e-08.
