Let's divide 509161 by 73
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 509161.

On to step 1:
73 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 509 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
73 can be fit into 509 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 438 from 509 and we're left with 71.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 711 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 711 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
Deduct 657 from 711 and we're left with 54.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 546 / 73

Step 5:
73 goes into 546 7 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 697.0
If we subtract 511 from 546, we get 35.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 351 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 351 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6974.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 292 from 351.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
73 can be fit into 590 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6974.8
Subtract 584 from 590 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6974.8
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
600 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6974.808
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 584 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6974.8082
If we take 146 away from 160, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
73 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6974.80821
If we take 73 away from 140, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
73 goes into 670 9 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6974.808219
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 657 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 130 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6974.8082191
Subtracting 73 from 130 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6974.80821917
Deduct 511 from 570 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

The final result is 6974.80821917 with a remainder of 5.9e-08.
