We look at the division of 255298 by 73 
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 255298.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 255 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
255 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 219 from 255 and we're left with 36.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 362 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
73 goes into 362 4 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Deduct 292 from 362 and we're left with 70.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 709 / 73

On to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 709 9 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 349.0
If we take 657 away from 709, we end up with 52.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 528 / 73

Step 6:
528 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3497.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 511 from 528.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3497.2
Deduct 146 from 170 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
73 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3497.23
Deduct 219 from 240 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
210 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3497.232
Subtract 146 from 210 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3497.2328
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 584 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
73 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3497.23287
Subtracting 511 from 560 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 490 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3497.232876
If we subtract 438 from 490, 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3497.2328767
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 511 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 90 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3497.23287671
If we take 73 away from 90, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final result is 3497.23287671 with a remainder of 1.7e-08.
