Let's divide 504986 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 504986 can be divided by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
73 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 73

On to step 2:
73 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 504 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 504 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 66.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 438 from 504 leaves us with 66.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 669 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 669 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 69.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 657 from 669.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 128 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 128 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 55.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 691.0
If we subtract 73 from 128, we get 55.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 556 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
73 can be fit into 556 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6917.0
Subtract 511 from 556 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 450 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6917.6
Subtracting 438 from 450 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 8:
73 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6917.61
Deduct 73 from 120 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
73 can be fit into 470 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6917.616
If we take 438 away from 470, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
320 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6917.6164
If we take 292 away from 320, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 73 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6917.61643
Deduct 219 from 280 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 610 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6917.616438
If we take 584 away from 610, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
73 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6917.6164383
Subtracting 219 from 260 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 410 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6917.61643835
Deduct 365 from 410 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6917.61643835, with a leftover of 4.5e-08.
