Let's divide 259040 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 259040 can be divided by 73.

Step 1:
73 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
73 can be fit into 259 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 219 from 259.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 400 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 400 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 365 from 400 and we're left with 35.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 354 / 73

Step 5:
If we divide 354 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 62.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 354.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 292 from 354.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 620 / 73

On to step 6:
620 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3548.0
Subtract 584 from 620 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
360 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3548.4
Deduct 292 from 360 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
73 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3548.49
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 657 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
73 can be fit into 230 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3548.493
Subtracting 219 from 230 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3548.4931
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 73 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 11:
370 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3548.49315
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 365 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 50 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3548.49315
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 500 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 62.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3548.4931506
Deduct 438 from 500 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 620 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3548.49315068
Deduct 584 from 620 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3548.49315068 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
