We look at the division of 318471 by 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 318471 can be divided by 73.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 318 / 73

Step 3:
73 goes into 318 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 292 from 318 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 264 / 73

Step 4:
264 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we take 219 away from 264, we end up with 45.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 457 / 73

Step 5:
457 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 436.0
Subtract 438 from 457 to get 19.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 191 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 191 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4362.0
If we subtract 146 from 191, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 450 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4362.6
Deduct 438 from 450 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
120 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4362.61
Deduct 73 from 120 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
73 goes into 470 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4362.616
Subtract 438 from 470 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 320 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4362.6164
Deduct 292 from 320 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
73 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4362.61643
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 219 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 610 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4362.616438
Deduct 584 from 610 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4362.6164383
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 219 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 14:
410 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4362.61643835
Deduct 365 from 410 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4362.61643835 and a remainder of 4.5e-08.
