We divide 878371 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 878371 can be divided by 73.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 73

On to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 73 away from 87, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 73

Step 3:
148 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 146 from 148, we get 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 23 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 237 / 73

On to step 5:
73 can be fit into 237 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1203.0
Deduct 219 from 237 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 181 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
181 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12032.0
Deduct 146 from 181 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 7:
73 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12032.4
If we subtract 292 from 350, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 580 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 69.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12032.47
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 511 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 690 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12032.479
If we take 657 away from 690, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 330 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12032.4794
If we take 292 away from 330, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12032.47945
If we take 365 away from 380, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
73 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12032.479452
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 146 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
73 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12032.479452
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
73 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12032.47945205
Subtracting 365 from 400 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12032.47945205 and a remainder of 3.5e-08.
