Let's divide 23589 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 23589 can be divided by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 235 / 73

On to step 3:
73 goes into 235 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 219 from 235 to get 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 73

On to step 4:
168 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 146 from 168.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 229 / 73

On to step 5:
If we divide 229 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 10.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 323.0
Subtracting 219 from 229 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
73 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 323.1
If we take 73 away from 100, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 270 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 51.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 323.13
Deduct 219 from 270 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
73 can be fit into 510 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 323.136
If we subtract 438 from 510, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
720 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 323.1369
Deduct 657 from 720 and we're left with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 630 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 323.13698
Deduct 584 from 630 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 460 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 323.136986
Deduct 438 from 460 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 220 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 323.1369863
If we subtract 219 from 220, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 73 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 323.1369863
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 323.1369863 and a remainder of 1e-08.
