We divide 378655 by 73
We want to divide 378655 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 37 0 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 37, we end up with 37.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 378 / 73

Step 3:
When dividing 378 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 365 from 378 leaves us with 13.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 136 / 73

Step 4:
136 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 73 from 136 leaves us with 63.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 635 / 73

On to step 5:
When dividing 635 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 518.0
If we subtract 584 from 635, we get 51.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 515 / 73

On to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 515 7 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5187.0
If we subtract 511 from 515, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
40 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5187.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5187.05
If we subtract 365 from 400, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 350 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5187.054
If we subtract 292 from 350, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
73 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5187.0547
Deduct 511 from 580 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
690 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 33.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5187.05479
If we subtract 657 from 690, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5187.054794
If we take 292 away from 330, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
73 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5187.0547945
If we subtract 365 from 380, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
73 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5187.05479452
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 146 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5187.05479452, with a leftover of 4e-09.
