We're dividing 73960784 by 143 
We're looking to find how many times 143 goes into 73960784.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 143, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 143

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 73 by 143, we get 0 and a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 73 and we're left with 73.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 739 / 143

On to step 3:
When dividing 739 by 143, we get 5 with a remainder of 24.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 715 from 739 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 246 / 143

On to step 4:
The number 143 fits into 246 1 times, leaving a remainder of 103.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 143 from 246 to get 103.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 103, then repeat: 1030 / 143

Step 5:
If we divide 1030 by 143, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 517.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 1001 from 1030.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 297 / 143

Going ahead to step 6:
143 goes into 297 2 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5172.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 286 from 297.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 143

Going ahead to step 7:
143 goes into 118 0 times with a remainder of 118.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51720.0
If we take 0 away from 118, we end up with 118.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 118, then repeat: 1184 / 143

Going ahead to step 8:
143 goes into 1184 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 517208.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 1144 from 1184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 143, we get 2 and a remainder of 114.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 517208.2
Subtracting 286 from 400 leaves us with 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 1140 by 143, we get 7 with a remainder of 139.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 517208.27
Deduct 1001 from 1140 and we're left with 139.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1390, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
143 goes into 1390 9 times with a remainder of 103.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 517208.279
Subtract 1287 from 1390 to get 103.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1030 divided by 143 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 517208.2797
If we subtract 1001 from 1030, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 290 by 143, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 517208.27972
Deduct 286 from 290 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
143 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 517208.27972
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 400 by 143, we get 2 with a remainder of 114.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 517208.2797202
Subtract 286 from 400 to get 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
143 goes into 1140 7 times with a remainder of 139.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 517208.27972027
Subtracting 1001 from 1140 leaves us with 139.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1390, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 517208.27972027 and a remainder of 1.39e-07.
