We're dividing 338779 by 73 
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 338779.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 33 / 73

On to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 33 0 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 33, we end up with 33.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 338 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
73 goes into 338 4 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 292 from 338 to get 46.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 467 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
73 goes into 467 6 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtracting 438 from 467 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 297 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
297 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 464.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 292 from 297.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
73 goes into 59 0 times with a remainder of 59.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4640.0
If we take 0 away from 59, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 590 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4640.8
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 584 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 73 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4640.8
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
73 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4640.808
If we subtract 584 from 600, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
73 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4640.8082
Subtracting 146 from 160 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 140 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 67.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4640.80821
Deduct 73 from 140 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
670 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4640.808219
Subtracting 657 from 670 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
130 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4640.8082191
Subtract 73 from 130 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
73 goes into 570 7 times with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4640.80821917
If we subtract 511 from 570, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4640.80821917 with a remaining 5.9e-08.
