We divide 281081 by 73
We want to divide 281081 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 281 / 73

On to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 281 3 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 219 away from 281, we end up with 62.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 620 / 73

On to step 4:
73 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 584 from 620 and we're left with 36.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 368 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 368 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385.0
Deduct 365 from 368 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 31 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3850.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
310 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3850.4
If we take 292 away from 310, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
73 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3850.42
If we subtract 146 from 180, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3850.424
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 292 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3850.4246
Subtract 438 from 480 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
73 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3850.42465
Subtract 365 from 420 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 550 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3850.424657
Subtract 511 from 550 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
73 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3850.4246575
Subtract 365 from 390 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
250 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3850.42465753
Subtract 219 from 250 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3850.42465753, with a leftover of 3.1e-08.
