We're dividing 73982717 by 154 
We're looking to find how many times 154 goes into 73982717.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 154 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 154

On to step 2:
When dividing 73 by 154, we get 0 with a remainder of 73.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 73, we end up with 73.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 73 and continue: 739 / 154

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 154 fits into 739 4 times, leaving a remainder of 123.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 123 after subtracting 616 from 739.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 123 and repeat the process: 1238 / 154

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 1238 by 154, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 1232 from 1238 to get 6.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 62 / 154

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 62 by 154, we get 0 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 480.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 0 from 62.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 627 / 154

Step 6:
154 goes into 627 4 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4804.0
Subtract 616 from 627 to get 11.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 111 / 154

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 111 by 154, we get 0 with a remainder of 111.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 48040.0
If we subtract 0 from 111, we get 111.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 111, then repeat: 1117 / 154

Moving on to step 8:
1117 divided by 154 is 7 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 480407.0
If we subtract 1078 from 1117, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 154 fits into 390 2 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 480407.2
Subtract 308 from 390 to get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 820 by 154, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 480407.25
If we take 770 away from 820, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 11:
500 divided by 154 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 480407.253
If we subtract 462 from 500, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 154, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 480407.2532
If we subtract 308 from 380, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
720 divided by 154 is 4 with a remainder of 104.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 480407.25324
Deduct 616 from 720 and we're left with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
1040 divided by 154 is 6 with a remainder of 116.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 480407.253246
If we take 924 away from 1040, we end up with 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
154 goes into 1160 7 times with a remainder of 82.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 480407.2532467
Subtracting 1078 from 1160 leaves us with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
If we divide 820 by 154, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 480407.25324675
If we take 770 away from 820, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 480407.25324675, with a leftover of 5e-08.
