We look at the division of 8996 by 73 
Our goal is to divide 8996 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
73 goes into 89 1 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 73 from 89.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 73

On to step 3:
When dividing 169 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 146 from 169, we get 23.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 236 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
73 can be fit into 236 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 123.0
If we take 219 away from 236, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 5:
73 goes into 170 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 123.2
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 146 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 123.23
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 219 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
73 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 123.232
Deduct 146 from 210 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 640 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 123.2328
Subtracting 584 from 640 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
73 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 123.23287
Subtracting 511 from 560 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
73 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 52.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 123.232876
Subtracting 438 from 490 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 520 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 123.2328767
Deduct 511 from 520 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 90 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 123.23287671
Deduct 73 from 90 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 123.23287671 with a remaining 1.7e-08.
