We divide 36278 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 36278 can be divided by 73.

Step 1:
73 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
73 goes into 36 0 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 0 from 36.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 362 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 362 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 70.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 292 away from 362, we end up with 70.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 707 / 73

Step 4:
The number 73 fits into 707 9 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 657 from 707 and we're left with 50.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 508 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 508 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 496.0
If we take 438 away from 508, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 496.9
Subtract 657 from 700 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
73 can be fit into 430 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 496.95
If we take 365 away from 430, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
650 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 66.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 496.958
If we subtract 584 from 650, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
73 can be fit into 660 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 496.9589
Subtracting 657 from 660 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
73 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 496.9589
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
73 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 496.958904
If we subtract 292 from 300, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 496.9589041
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 73 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 70 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 496.9589041
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The final result is 496.9589041 with a remainder of 7e-08.
