We divide 264959 by 73
Our goal is to divide 264959 by 73.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 264 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 264 3 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 219 from 264, we get 45.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 459 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
73 can be fit into 459 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtracting 438 from 459 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 215 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
73 can be fit into 215 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 362.0
If we subtract 146 from 215, we get 69.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 699 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 699 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3629.0
If we take 657 away from 699, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
420 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3629.5
If we subtract 365 from 420, we get 55.
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 8:
550 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3629.57
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 511 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
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: 3629.575
Subtracting 365 from 390 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
250 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3629.5753
If we subtract 219 from 250, we get 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 11:
73 can be fit into 310 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3629.57534
Deduct 292 from 310 and we're left 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 12:
73 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3629.575342
If we take 146 away from 180, we end up with 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 13:
340 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3629.5753424
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 292 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 480 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3629.57534246
If we subtract 438 from 480, we 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.

The final outcome is 3629.57534246, with a leftover of 4.2e-08.
