257251 divided by 73 
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 257251.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 257 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
73 goes into 257 3 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 219 from 257 leaves us with 38.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 382 / 73

Step 4:
73 can be fit into 382 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 365 from 382.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 175 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 175 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 29.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 352.0
Subtracting 146 from 175 leaves us with 29.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 291 / 73

On to step 6:
When dividing 291 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3523.0
If we take 219 away from 291, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 720 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 63.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3523.9
If we take 657 away from 720, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
630 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3523.98
If we subtract 584 from 630, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
73 goes into 460 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3523.986
Subtracting 438 from 460 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
73 can be fit into 220 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3523.9863
If we take 219 away from 220, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
10 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3523.9863
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3523.986301
Deduct 73 from 100 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 270 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3523.9863013
Deduct 219 from 270 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 14:
510 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3523.98630136
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 438 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final result is 3523.98630136 with a remainder of 7.2e-08.
