Let's divide 251502 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 251502 can be divided by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 251 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
73 goes into 251 3 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 219 from 251 and we're left with 32.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 325 / 73

Step 4:
325 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 292 from 325 leaves us with 33.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 330 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
73 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 344.0
If we take 292 away from 330, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 382 / 73

On to step 6:
73 can be fit into 382 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3445.0
Subtract 365 from 382 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
170 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3445.2
If we take 146 away from 170, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 240 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3445.23
Subtract 219 from 240 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
73 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3445.232
Subtract 146 from 210 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3445.2328
If we subtract 584 from 640, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3445.23287
Subtract 511 from 560 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 490 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3445.232876
If we take 438 away from 490, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 520 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3445.2328767
Deduct 511 from 520 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
90 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3445.23287671
Subtracting 73 from 90 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3445.23287671 with a remaining 1.7e-08.
