Let's divide 384487 by 73
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 384487.

On to step 1:
73 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 38 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 384 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
73 can be fit into 384 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 365 from 384.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 194 / 73

Step 4:
194 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 146 from 194.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 488 / 73

On to step 5:
488 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 526.0
Deduct 438 from 488 and we're left with 50.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 507 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
73 goes into 507 6 times with a remainder of 69.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5266.0
Deduct 438 from 507 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.

Step 7:
73 can be fit into 690 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5266.9
Subtract 657 from 690 to 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 8:
330 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5266.94
If we subtract 292 from 330, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5266.945
Subtract 365 from 380 to 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 150 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5266.9452
Subtracting 146 from 150 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5266.9452
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 5266.945205
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.

Step 13:
73 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5266.9452054
Deduct 292 from 350 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 580 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5266.94520547
If we subtract 511 from 580, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5266.94520547 with a balance of 6.9e-08.
