Let's divide 124271 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 124271 can be divided by 73.

Advancing to step 1:
73 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
73 can be fit into 124 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 73 from 124 to get 51.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 512 / 73

On to step 4:
512 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 511 from 512, we get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 73

On to step 5:
If we divide 17 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 170.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 171 / 73

Step 6:
When dividing 171 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 25.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1702.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 146 from 171.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 250 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1702.3
Subtracting 219 from 250 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 310 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1702.34
If we take 292 away from 310, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
73 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1702.342
If we subtract 146 from 180, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
73 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1702.3424
Deduct 292 from 340 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 480 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 42.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1702.34246
Subtract 438 from 480 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 12:
420 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1702.342465
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 365 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
73 goes into 550 7 times with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1702.3424657
Subtracting 511 from 550 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 390 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1702.34246575
Deduct 365 from 390 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1702.34246575 with a balance of 2.5e-08.
