218290 ÷ 73 
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 218290.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 218 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 146 from 218 leaves us with 72.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 722 / 73

On to step 4:
73 goes into 722 9 times with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 657 from 722, we get 65.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 65, then repeat: 659 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 659 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 299.0
Subtract 657 from 659 to get 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2990.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
73 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2990.2
Deduct 146 from 200 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
73 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2990.27
Subtracting 511 from 540 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 73 fits into 290 3 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2990.273
If we take 219 away from 290, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Step 10:
73 goes into 710 9 times with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2990.2739
If we take 657 away from 710, we end up with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
530 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2990.27397
If we subtract 511 from 530, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 190 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2990.273972
If we subtract 146 from 190, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 440 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2990.2739726
If we subtract 438 from 440, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
20 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2990.2739726
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2990.2739726 with a balance of 2e-08.
