478769 divided by 73 
We want to divide 478769 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
73 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 478 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
73 goes into 478 6 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 438 away from 478, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 407 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 407 5 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 65.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 365 from 407.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 426 / 73

Moving on to step 5:
73 can be fit into 426 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 655.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 365 from 426.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 619 / 73

On to step 6:
619 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 35.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6558.0
Subtract 584 from 619 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
350 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6558.4
Subtract 292 from 350 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6558.47
If we take 511 away from 580, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
73 goes into 690 9 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6558.479
Subtracting 657 from 690 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 10:
73 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6558.4794
Subtracting 292 from 330 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
380 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6558.47945
If we take 365 away from 380, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 73 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6558.479452
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 146 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 13:
40 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6558.479452
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6558.47945205
Subtracting 365 from 400 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6558.47945205, with a leftover of 3.5e-08.
