Let's divide 52973 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 52973.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 52 0 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 52, we get 52.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 529 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
74 goes into 529 7 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 518 away from 529, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 117 / 74

Step 4:
If we divide 117 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71.0
Subtract 74 from 117 to get 43.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 433 / 74

Step 5:
When dividing 433 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 63.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 715.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 370 from 433.
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 6:
The number 74 fits into 630 8 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 715.8
Subtract 592 from 630 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 715.85
Subtract 370 from 380 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 715.851
If we take 74 away from 100, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 74 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 715.8513
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 10:
74 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 715.85135
If we subtract 370 from 380, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
100 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 715.851351
Subtract 74 from 100 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 715.8513513
Deduct 222 from 260 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 380 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 715.85135135
If we take 370 away from 380, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 715.85135135 with a remaining 1e-08.
