Let's divide 271736 by 73
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 271736.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 271 / 73

Step 3:
The number 73 fits into 271 3 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 219 from 271 leaves us with 52.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 527 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 527 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 511 away from 527, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 163 / 73

Step 5:
If we divide 163 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 372.0
If we take 146 away from 163, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 176 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 176 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3722.0
Subtract 146 from 176 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 7:
73 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3722.4
If we subtract 292 from 300, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
73 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3722.41
Subtract 73 from 80 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
73 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3722.41
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 10:
73 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3722.4109
Deduct 657 from 700 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3722.41095
Subtract 365 from 430 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
73 goes into 650 8 times with a remainder of 66.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3722.410958
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 584 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
73 goes into 660 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3722.4109589
If we subtract 657 from 660, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
73 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3722.4109589
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3722.4109589, with a leftover of 3e-08.
