We're dividing 179488 by 73 
We want to divide 179488 by 73.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 73

On to step 2:
73 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 73

Step 3:
If we divide 179 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 33.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 146 away from 179, we end up with 33.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 334 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 334 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 292 from 334 leaves us with 42.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 428 / 73

Step 5:
The number 73 fits into 428 5 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 245.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 365 from 428.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 638 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
638 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2458.0
Subtracting 584 from 638 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
73 goes into 540 7 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2458.7
Deduct 511 from 540 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 290 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2458.73
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 219 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
73 goes into 710 9 times with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2458.739
Subtract 657 from 710 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 530 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2458.7397
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 511 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 11:
73 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2458.73972
Subtracting 146 from 190 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
73 can be fit into 440 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2458.739726
If we subtract 438 from 440, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
73 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2458.739726
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
73 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2458.73972602
Subtracting 146 from 200 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2458.73972602 with a balance of 5.4e-08.
