We're dividing 87538977 by 73 
Our goal is to divide 87538977 by 73.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
73 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 73 from 87.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 145 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 145 1 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 73 from 145 and we're left with 72.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 723 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 723 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 66.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119.0
If we take 657 away from 723, we end up with 66.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 668 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 668 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1199.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 657 from 668.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 119 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11991.0
Deduct 73 from 119 and we're left with 46.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 467 / 73

Let's proceed to step 7:
467 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 29.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 119916.0
Subtract 438 from 467 to get 29.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 297 / 73

Step 8:
If we divide 297 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1199164.0
Subtract 292 from 297 to get 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 9:
The number 73 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1199164.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
73 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1199164.06
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
73 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1199164.068
Subtracting 584 from 620 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
360 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1199164.0684
Deduct 292 from 360 and we're left 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 13:
73 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1199164.06849
If we take 657 away from 680, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 230 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1199164.068493
Subtracting 219 from 230 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
73 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1199164.0684931
If we subtract 73 from 110, we get 37.
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 16:
73 goes into 370 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1199164.06849315
If we take 365 away from 370, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 1199164.06849315 and a remainder of 5e-09.
