We divide 492697 by 73
Our goal is to divide 492697 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
73 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 73

Step 2:
49 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 492 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 492 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 54.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 438 from 492 and we're left with 54.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 546 / 73

Step 4:
73 can be fit into 546 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we subtract 511 from 546, we get 35.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 359 / 73

Step 5:
The number 73 fits into 359 4 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 674.0
Subtracting 292 from 359 leaves us with 67.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 677 / 73

Step 6:
The number 73 fits into 677 9 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6749.0
Subtracting 657 from 677 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6749.2
If we take 146 away from 200, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
540 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6749.27
Subtracting 511 from 540 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
73 goes into 290 3 times with a remainder of 71.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6749.273
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 219 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 73 fits into 710 9 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6749.2739
Subtracting 657 from 710 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
73 goes into 530 7 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6749.27397
If we take 511 away from 530, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
73 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6749.273972
Subtract 146 from 190 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 13:
73 goes into 440 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6749.2739726
Subtract 438 from 440 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6749.2739726
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6749.2739726 with a remaining 2e-08.
