We're dividing 850981 by 73 
We want to divide 850981 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 73

On to step 2:
73 can be fit into 85 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 73 from 85 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 120 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
73 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 73 from 120 to get 47.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 479 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 479 6 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 116.0
If we take 438 away from 479, we end up with 41.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 418 / 73

Moving on to step 5:
73 goes into 418 5 times with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1165.0
Subtract 365 from 418 to get 53.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 531 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
531 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11657.0
If we take 511 away from 531, we end up 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 200 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 54.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11657.2
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: 11657.27
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 511 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 290 3 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11657.273
Deduct 219 from 290 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
710 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 53.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11657.2739
If we take 657 away from 710, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 530 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11657.27397
If we subtract 511 from 530, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
73 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11657.273972
Deduct 146 from 190 and we're left with 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:
440 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11657.2739726
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.

Moving on to step 14:
73 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11657.2739726
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11657.2739726, and the remainder is 2e-08.
