We're dividing 48873 by 73 
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 48873.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 488 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 488 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 50.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 438 away from 488, we end up with 50.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 507 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
73 goes into 507 6 times with a remainder of 69.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 66.0
Subtracting 438 from 507 leaves us with 69.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 693 / 73

Step 5:
73 can be fit into 693 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 669.0
If we subtract 657 from 693, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 360 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 669.4
Deduct 292 from 360 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 680 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 669.49
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 230 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 669.493
Subtract 219 from 230 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
73 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 669.4931
Subtracting 73 from 110 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
73 can be fit into 370 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 669.49315
If we subtract 365 from 370, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 50 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 669.49315
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 12:
73 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 669.4931506
Subtract 438 from 500 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 669.49315068
If we subtract 584 from 620, we get 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 669.49315068 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
