Let's divide 73872904 by 161
We want to divide 73872904 by 161.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 161 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 161

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 73 by 161, we get 0 and a remainder of 73.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 73, we get 73.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 738 / 161

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 161 fits into 738 4 times, leaving a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 644 from 738 leaves us with 94.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 94, then carry on: 947 / 161

On to step 4:
When dividing 947 by 161, we get 5 with a remainder of 142.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtracting 805 from 947 leaves us with 142.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 142, then repeat: 1422 / 161

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 1422 by 161, we get 8 and a remainder of 134.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 458.0
Subtract 1288 from 1422 to get 134.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 134 and continue with: 1349 / 161

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1349 by 161, we get 8 and a remainder of 61.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4588.0
If we subtract 1288 from 1349, we get 61.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 610 / 161

Step 7:
The number 161 fits into 610 3 times, leaving a remainder of 127.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 45883.0
If we take 483 away from 610, we end up with 127.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 127 and repeat the process: 1274 / 161

Step 8:
161 can be fit into 1274 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 147.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 458837.0
The remainder is 147 after subtracting 1127 from 1274.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1470, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 1470 by 161, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 458837.9
If we subtract 1449 from 1470, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
210 divided by 161 is 1 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 458837.91
Deduct 161 from 210 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 490 by 161, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 458837.913
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 483 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 70 by 161, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 458837.913
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 161 fits into 700 4 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 458837.91304
Deduct 644 from 700 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
161 can be fit into 560 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 458837.913043
Deduct 483 from 560 and we're left with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 770 by 161, we get 4 and a remainder of 126.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 458837.9130434
The remainder is 126 after subtracting 644 from 770.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Step 16:
1260 divided by 161 is 7 with a remainder of 133.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 458837.91304347
Deduct 1127 from 1260 and we're left with 133.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 458837.91304347 and a remainder of 1.33e-07.
