331218 divided by 73 
Our goal is to divide 331218 by 73.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
73 goes into 33 0 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 33, we get 33.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 331 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
73 goes into 331 4 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 292 from 331 to get 39.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 392 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
392 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 27.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we subtract 365 from 392, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 271 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 271 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 453.0
Deduct 219 from 271 and we're left with 52.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 528 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 528 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4537.0
If we take 511 away from 528, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
73 can be fit into 170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4537.2
Subtracting 146 from 170 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
The number 73 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4537.23
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 219 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 210 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4537.232
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.

Step 10:
If we divide 640 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4537.2328
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.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4537.23287
Deduct 511 from 560 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 490 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4537.232876
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.

Step 13:
If we divide 520 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4537.2328767
If we take 511 away from 520, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
73 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4537.23287671
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 4537.23287671 with a remainder of 1.7e-08.
