Let's divide 500251 by 73
Our goal is to divide 500251 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
50 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 500 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 500 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 438 from 500, we get 62.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 622 / 73

Step 4:
73 can be fit into 622 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
Deduct 584 from 622 and we're left with 38.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 385 / 73

On to step 5:
If we divide 385 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 685.0
If we subtract 365 from 385, we get 20.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 201 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
73 goes into 201 2 times with a remainder of 55.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6852.0
Subtract 146 from 201 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 550 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6852.7
If we take 511 away from 550, we end up with 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 8:
If we divide 390 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6852.75
If we subtract 365 from 390, we 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 9:
73 can be fit into 250 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6852.753
Deduct 219 from 250 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 10:
310 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6852.7534
If we subtract 292 from 310, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
73 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6852.75342
Subtracting 146 from 180 leaves us with 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 12:
When dividing 340 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6852.753424
If we subtract 292 from 340, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
480 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6852.7534246
If we subtract 438 from 480, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
420 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6852.75342465
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 365 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6852.75342465 with a remaining 5.5e-08.
