157281 divided by 73 
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 157281.

Step 1:
73 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
73 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 73

Step 3:
73 can be fit into 157 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 146 from 157 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 112 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
73 goes into 112 1 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 73 from 112 to get 39.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 398 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
73 can be fit into 398 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 215.0
If we subtract 365 from 398, we get 33.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 331 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 331 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2154.0
If we subtract 292 from 331, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
390 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2154.5
If we subtract 365 from 390, we 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.

Step 8:
The number 73 fits into 250 3 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2154.53
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.

Advancing to step 9:
73 goes into 310 4 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2154.534
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 292 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2154.5342
Deduct 146 from 180 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
73 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2154.53424
Subtract 292 from 340 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2154.534246
Subtracting 438 from 480 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 420 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2154.5342465
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 365 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 550 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2154.53424657
Subtract 511 from 550 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

The final result is 2154.53424657 with a remainder of 3.9e-08.
