We divide 878238 by 73
Our goal is to divide 878238 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
73 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 73 from 87, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
73 goes into 148 2 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 146 from 148, we get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
22 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 120.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 223 / 73

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 223 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1203.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 219 from 223.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 73

On to step 6:
73 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12030.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12030.6
Deduct 438 from 480 and we're left 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 8:
If we divide 420 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12030.65
Subtract 365 from 420 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 550 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 39.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12030.657
Deduct 511 from 550 and we're left with 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 10:
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: 12030.6575
If we subtract 365 from 390, we get 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 11:
The number 73 fits into 250 3 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12030.65753
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.

On to step 12:
73 goes into 310 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12030.657534
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 13:
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: 12030.6575342
Deduct 146 from 180 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
340 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12030.65753424
Subtracting 292 from 340 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12030.65753424 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
