509887 ÷ 73 
We want to divide 509887 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 509 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
509 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 71.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 438 from 509 leaves us with 71.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 718 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 718 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 61.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69.0
Deduct 657 from 718 and we're left with 61.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 618 / 73

Moving on to step 5:
73 goes into 618 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 698.0
Subtracting 584 from 618 leaves us with 34.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 347 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 347 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 55.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6984.0
Subtracting 292 from 347 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 550 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 39.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6984.7
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 8:
If we divide 390 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6984.75
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 9:
250 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6984.753
Subtract 219 from 250 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
73 can be fit into 310 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6984.7534
Deduct 292 from 310 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6984.75342
If we subtract 146 from 180, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6984.753424
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 292 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 480 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 42.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6984.7534246
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 14:
73 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6984.75342465
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6984.75342465 with a balance of 5.5e-08.
