We look at the division of 261533 by 73 
Our goal is to divide 261533 by 73.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
73 goes into 261 3 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 219 from 261 and we're left with 42.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 425 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 425 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 365 from 425 leaves us with 60.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 603 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 603 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 19.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 358.0
If we subtract 584 from 603, we get 19.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 193 / 73

Step 6:
73 goes into 193 2 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3582.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 146 from 193.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 470 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3582.6
Deduct 438 from 470 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
73 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3582.64
Subtract 292 from 320 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 280 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 61.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3582.643
Deduct 219 from 280 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
73 goes into 610 8 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3582.6438
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 584 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
73 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3582.64383
If we subtract 219 from 260, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
410 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3582.643835
If we subtract 365 from 410, 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.

Moving on to step 13:
73 can be fit into 450 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3582.6438356
Subtract 438 from 450 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 120 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3582.64383561
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 73 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3582.64383561, with a leftover of 4.7e-08.
