We look at the division of 981489 by 73 
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 981489.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 73 from 98 and we're left with 25.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 251 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 251 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 219 away from 251, we end up with 32.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 324 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
73 can be fit into 324 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 134.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 292 from 324.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 328 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 328 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1344.0
Deduct 292 from 328 and we're left with 36.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 369 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 369 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13445.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 365 from 369.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
73 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13445.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
The number 73 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13445.05
If we take 365 away from 400, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
73 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13445.054
If we take 292 away from 350, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
73 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 13445.0547
Subtract 511 from 580 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 690 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 33.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13445.05479
Subtracting 657 from 690 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
73 can be fit into 330 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13445.054794
Deduct 292 from 330 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 380 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13445.0547945
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 365 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

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: 13445.05479452
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.

After the division, we end up with 13445.05479452 and a remainder of 4e-09.
