We look at the division of 257401 by 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 257401 can be divided by 73.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 257 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
73 goes into 257 3 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 219 from 257 to get 38.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 384 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
384 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 365 from 384 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 190 / 73

Step 5:
73 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 352.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 146 from 190.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 441 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
441 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 3.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3526.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 438 from 441.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3526.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
300 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3526.04
Subtract 292 from 300 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3526.041
If we subtract 73 from 80, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
73 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3526.041
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
700 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3526.04109
Deduct 657 from 700 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 430 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 65.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3526.041095
Subtracting 365 from 430 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
650 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3526.0410958
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 584 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 660 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3526.04109589
Subtracting 657 from 660 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3526.04109589 with a balance of 3e-09.
