We divide 257719 by 73
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 257719.

On to step 1:
73 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 73

On to step 2:
73 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 257 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
73 goes into 257 3 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 219 from 257.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 387 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 387 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 365 from 387 leaves us with 22.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 221 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 221 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 353.0
Subtract 219 from 221 to get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 29 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3530.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
290 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3530.3
Deduct 219 from 290 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
73 goes into 710 9 times with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3530.39
If we take 657 away from 710, we end up with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 530 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3530.397
Deduct 511 from 530 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 190 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3530.3972
Subtract 146 from 190 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 440 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3530.39726
Subtract 438 from 440 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
73 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3530.39726
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
200 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3530.3972602
If we subtract 146 from 200, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 73 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3530.39726027
Subtracting 511 from 540 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3530.39726027 with a remaining 2.9e-08.
