586872 ÷ 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 586872 can be divided by 73.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 58.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 58 and we're left with 58.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 586 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 586 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 584 from 586.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 80.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 287 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 287 3 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 803.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 219 from 287.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 682 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 682 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8039.0
Deduct 657 from 682 and we're left 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 7:
73 can be fit into 250 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8039.3
Deduct 219 from 250 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
73 can be fit into 310 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8039.34
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 292 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8039.342
If we subtract 146 from 180, we get 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 10:
If we divide 340 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8039.3424
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8039.34246
Subtract 438 from 480 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
73 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8039.342465
If we take 365 away from 420, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 550 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 39.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8039.3424657
If we subtract 511 from 550, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 390 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8039.34246575
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 365 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8039.34246575 with a remaining 2.5e-08.
