We're dividing 709962 by 73 
We want to divide 709962 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
73 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 70 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 70 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 709 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 709 9 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 657 from 709 leaves us with 52.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 529 / 73

On to step 4:
If we divide 529 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 97.0
Subtract 511 from 529 to get 18.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 186 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 186 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 972.0
Deduct 146 from 186 and we're left with 40.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 402 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
402 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9725.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 365 from 402.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 370 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9725.5
Subtracting 365 from 370 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
73 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9725.5
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9725.506
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 438 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 620 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9725.5068
If we take 584 away from 620, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
73 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9725.50684
If we take 292 away from 360, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 680 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9725.506849
Subtract 657 from 680 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 13:
73 can be fit into 230 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9725.5068493
Subtract 219 from 230 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9725.50684931
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 73 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

The final result is 9725.50684931 with a remainder of 3.7e-08.
