Let's divide 281171 by 73
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 281171.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 281 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 281 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 219 from 281 to get 62.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 621 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 621 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 37.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 584 from 621 and we're left with 37.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 377 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 377 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 385.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 365 from 377.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 121 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 121 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3851.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 73 from 121.
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:
If we divide 480 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3851.6
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 438 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 8:
73 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3851.65
If we subtract 365 from 420, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
73 goes into 550 7 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3851.657
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 511 from 550.
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:
The number 73 fits into 390 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3851.6575
Subtract 365 from 390 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
73 can be fit into 250 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3851.65753
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 310 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3851.657534
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
73 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3851.6575342
Subtracting 146 from 180 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 340 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3851.65753424
If we take 292 away from 340, 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.

Our division results in 3851.65753424 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
