We look at the division of 73999850 by 143 
We want to divide 73999850 by 143.

Let's proceed to step 1:
143 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 143

Moving on to step 2:
143 goes into 73 0 times with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 73, we get 73.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 739 / 143

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 143 fits into 739 5 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 715 from 739, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 249 / 143

On to step 4:
The number 143 fits into 249 1 times, leaving a remainder of 106.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 143 from 249 leaves us with 106.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 106, then repeat: 1069 / 143

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 1069 by 143, we get 7 with a remainder of 68.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 517.0
If we subtract 1001 from 1069, we get 68.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 688 / 143

On to step 6:
The number 143 fits into 688 4 times, leaving a remainder of 116.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5174.0
Subtract 572 from 688 to get 116.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 116 and continue with: 1165 / 143

On to step 7:
If we divide 1165 by 143, we get 8 and a remainder of 21.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51748.0
Deduct 1144 from 1165 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 210 / 143

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 210 by 143, we get 1 with a remainder of 67.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 517481.0
Deduct 143 from 210 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 670 by 143, we get 4 with a remainder of 98.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 517481.4
The remainder is 98 after subtracting 572 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Step 10:
143 goes into 980 6 times with a remainder of 122.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 517481.46
Deduct 858 from 980 and we're left with 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 143 fits into 1220 8 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 517481.468
Subtract 1144 from 1220 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 143 fits into 760 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 517481.4685
Subtract 715 from 760 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
143 goes into 450 3 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 517481.46853
Deduct 429 from 450 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
143 goes into 210 1 times with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 517481.468531
Subtract 143 from 210 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 670 by 143, we get 4 with a remainder of 98.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 517481.4685314
If we take 572 away from 670, we end up with 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
980 divided by 143 is 6 with a remainder of 122.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 517481.46853146
The remainder is 122 after subtracting 858 from 980.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 517481.46853146 with a remaining 1.22e-07.
