We divide 887998 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 887998 can be divided by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
88 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 73 from 88.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 157 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
73 can be fit into 157 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 146 from 157 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 119 / 73

On to step 4:
119 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121.0
If we subtract 73 from 119, we get 46.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 469 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
73 can be fit into 469 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1216.0
If we take 438 away from 469, we end up with 31.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 318 / 73

On to step 6:
73 goes into 318 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12164.0
If we take 292 away from 318, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 260 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 41.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12164.3
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 219 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 410 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12164.35
Subtract 365 from 410 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 450 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12164.356
Deduct 438 from 450 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 47.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12164.3561
If we subtract 73 from 120, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 470 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12164.35616
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 438 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 73 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12164.356164
Deduct 292 from 320 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 280 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12164.3561643
Subtracting 219 from 280 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
73 can be fit into 610 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12164.35616438
If we take 584 away from 610, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12164.35616438 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
