Let's divide 472856 by 73
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 472856.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 472 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
472 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 438 from 472.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 348 / 73

On to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 348 4 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Deduct 292 from 348 and we're left with 56.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 565 / 73

On to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 565 7 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 647.0
Subtracting 511 from 565 leaves us with 54.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 546 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 546 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6477.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 511 from 546.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 58.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6477.4
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 292 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
73 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 69.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6477.47
Deduct 511 from 580 and we're left 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:
The number 73 fits into 690 9 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6477.479
If we subtract 657 from 690, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 330 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6477.4794
If we take 292 away from 330, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6477.47945
Subtract 365 from 380 to get 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:
73 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6477.479452
Deduct 146 from 150 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6477.479452
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
73 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6477.47945205
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.

After the division, we end up with 6477.47945205 and a remainder of 3.5e-08.
