Let's divide 916497 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 916497 can be divided by 73.

Step 1:
The number 73 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 91 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 91 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 73 away from 91, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 186 / 73

Step 3:
When dividing 186 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 146 from 186 leaves us with 40.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 404 / 73

On to step 4:
404 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 125.0
Subtract 365 from 404 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 399 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
399 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 34.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1255.0
Deduct 365 from 399 and we're left with 34.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 347 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
347 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12554.0
Subtracting 292 from 347 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.

Step 7:
550 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12554.7
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 511 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 8:
73 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12554.75
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 250 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12554.753
Subtracting 219 from 250 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
310 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12554.7534
Subtract 292 from 310 to get 18.
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 11:
180 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12554.75342
Subtracting 146 from 180 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 12:
73 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12554.753424
Subtracting 292 from 340 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12554.7534246
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12554.75342465
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.

The final result is 12554.75342465 with a remainder of 5.5e-08.
