We look at the division of 868888 by 73 
We want to divide 868888 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
73 goes into 86 1 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 73 from 86, we get 13.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
138 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 73 from 138.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 658 / 73

On to step 4:
73 goes into 658 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119.0
Deduct 657 from 658 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 73

On to step 5:
If we divide 18 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1190.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 188 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 188 2 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11902.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 146 from 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 420 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11902.5
Subtracting 365 from 420 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 550 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 39.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11902.57
Deduct 511 from 550 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 390 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11902.575
Deduct 365 from 390 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 10:
250 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11902.5753
Deduct 219 from 250 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 310 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11902.57534
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 292 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 180 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11902.575342
If we subtract 146 from 180, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11902.5753424
If we subtract 292 from 340, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
73 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11902.57534246
Subtracting 438 from 480 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11902.57534246 with a remaining 4.2e-08.
