We divide 74699 by 73
We want to divide 74699 by 73.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 73

Step 2:
If we divide 74 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 73 from 74, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 73

On to step 3:
73 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 169 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
73 can be fit into 169 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 102.0
If we take 146 away from 169, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 239 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
73 can be fit into 239 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1023.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 219 from 239.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
73 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 54.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1023.2
Deduct 146 from 200 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 540 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1023.27
If we subtract 511 from 540, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 290 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 71.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1023.273
If we take 219 away from 290, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
73 goes into 710 9 times with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1023.2739
Deduct 657 from 710 and we're left 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 10:
530 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1023.27397
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 511 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
73 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1023.273972
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 146 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 73 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1023.2739726
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1023.2739726
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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 final outcome is 1023.2739726, with a leftover of 2e-08.
