Let's divide 988259 by 73
Our goal is to divide 988259 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
73 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 73 from 98 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 258 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 258 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 219 from 258.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 392 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 392 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 135.0
Subtract 365 from 392 to get 27.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 275 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 275 3 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1353.0
If we subtract 219 from 275, we get 56.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 569 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 569 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 58.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13537.0
If we subtract 511 from 569, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
73 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 69.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13537.7
Subtracting 511 from 580 leaves us with 69.
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 8:
When dividing 690 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13537.79
Subtracting 657 from 690 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
73 can be fit into 330 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13537.794
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 292 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
380 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13537.7945
Subtracting 365 from 380 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 150 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13537.79452
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13537.79452
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 400 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13537.7945205
If we subtract 365 from 400, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13537.79452054
If we take 292 away from 350, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13537.79452054 with a remaining 5.8e-08.
