Let's divide 297438 by 73
Our goal is to divide 297438 by 73.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 73

Step 2:
The number 73 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 297 / 73

Step 3:
297 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 292 from 297 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 73

On to step 4:
73 can be fit into 54 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we subtract 0 from 54, we get 54.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 543 / 73

Step 5:
73 goes into 543 7 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 407.0
Subtracting 511 from 543 leaves us with 32.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 328 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 328 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4074.0
Subtracting 292 from 328 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
73 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4074.4
Subtracting 292 from 360 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 680 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4074.49
Subtracting 657 from 680 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
230 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4074.493
If we subtract 219 from 230, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
73 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4074.4931
If we subtract 73 from 110, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 370 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4074.49315
Subtracting 365 from 370 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
50 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4074.49315
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
73 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4074.4931506
Deduct 438 from 500 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 620 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4074.49315068
Subtracting 584 from 620 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4074.49315068 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
