We're dividing 73878900 by 284 
We're looking to find how many times 284 goes into 73878900.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 284 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 284

Let's proceed to step 2:
284 goes into 73 0 times with a remainder of 73.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 73, we get 73.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 738 / 284

On to step 3:
738 divided by 284 is 2 with a remainder of 170.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 568 from 738 and we're left with 170.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 170, then repeat: 1707 / 284

Going ahead to step 4:
1707 divided by 284 is 6 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we take 1704 away from 1707, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 284

On to step 5:
284 can be fit into 38 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 260.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 389 / 284

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 389 by 284, we get 1 and a remainder of 105.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2601.0
Subtract 284 from 389 to get 105.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 105 and continue with: 1050 / 284

Step 7:
284 can be fit into 1050 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 198.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26013.0
If we subtract 852 from 1050, we get 198.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 198 and continue with: 1980 / 284

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 1980 by 284, we get 6 and a remainder of 276.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 260136.0
Subtract 1704 from 1980 to get 276.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2760, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 2760 by 284, we get 9 and a remainder of 204.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 260136.9
Deduct 2556 from 2760 and we're left with 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

Step 10:
2040 divided by 284 is 7 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 260136.97
If we subtract 1988 from 2040, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 11:
284 can be fit into 520 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 236.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 260136.971
If we take 284 away from 520, we end up with 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
2360 divided by 284 is 8 with a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 260136.9718
Subtract 2272 from 2360 to get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 880 by 284, we get 3 and a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 260136.97183
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 852 from 880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 284, we get 0 with a remainder of 280.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 260136.97183
Subtract 0 from 280 to get 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
284 goes into 2800 9 times with a remainder of 244.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 260136.9718309
If we subtract 2556 from 2800, we get 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 284 fits into 2440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 168.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 260136.97183098
Subtracting 2272 from 2440 leaves us with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 260136.97183098 with a balance of 1.68e-07.
