Let's divide 398939 by 73
Our goal is to divide 398939 by 73.

Moving on to step 1:
3 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 39 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 39, we get 39.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 398 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 398 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 33.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 365 from 398 to get 33.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 339 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 339 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 47.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtracting 292 from 339 leaves us with 47.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 473 / 73

On to step 5:
73 goes into 473 6 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 546.0
If we subtract 438 from 473, we get 35.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 359 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 359 4 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5464.0
Deduct 292 from 359 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
670 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5464.9
Subtract 657 from 670 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 130 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 57.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5464.91
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 73 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 570 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5464.917
Subtracting 511 from 570 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
590 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5464.9178
If we take 584 away from 590, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 60 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5464.9178
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5464.917808
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 584 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 160 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5464.9178082
Subtract 146 from 160 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 14:
140 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 67.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5464.91780821
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 73 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5464.91780821 with a balance of 6.7e-08.
