We divide 279414 by 73
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 279414.

Step 1:
The number 73 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 73

On to step 2:
73 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 73

Step 3:
73 can be fit into 279 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 219 from 279 leaves us with 60.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 604 / 73

On to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 604 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 584 from 604 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 201 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 201 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 55.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 382.0
Subtract 146 from 201 to get 55.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 554 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
73 can be fit into 554 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3827.0
Subtract 511 from 554 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 430 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3827.5
Subtracting 365 from 430 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
73 can be fit into 650 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3827.58
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 584 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 660 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3827.589
If we take 657 away from 660, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 30 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3827.589
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.

On to step 11:
300 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3827.58904
If we subtract 292 from 300, we get 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 12:
73 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3827.589041
If we take 73 away from 80, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 13:
73 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3827.589041
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 700 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3827.58904109
Subtract 657 from 700 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3827.58904109 with a remaining 4.3e-08.
