Let's divide 512259 by 73
Our goal is to divide 512259 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
73 goes into 51 0 times with a remainder of 51.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 0 from 51.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 512 / 73

On to step 3:
If we divide 512 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 511 from 512, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 125 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
125 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 52.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 701.0
Subtracting 73 from 125 leaves us with 52.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 529 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
73 goes into 529 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7017.0
If we subtract 511 from 529, 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 7:
73 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7017.2
If we subtract 146 from 180, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
340 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7017.24
Subtracting 292 from 340 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 9:
73 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7017.246
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 438 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 10:
73 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7017.2465
Deduct 365 from 420 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 550 7 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7017.24657
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 511 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
390 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7017.246575
Subtract 365 from 390 to 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
73 goes into 250 3 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7017.2465753
Subtract 219 from 250 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
73 goes into 310 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7017.24657534
Subtracting 292 from 310 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7017.24657534 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
