We look at the division of 637240 by 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 637240 can be divided by 73.

Advancing to step 1:
73 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 63 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 63 0 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 63, we end up with 63.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 63 and repeat the process: 637 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 637 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 53.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 584 from 637, we get 53.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 532 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
73 goes into 532 7 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87.0
If we subtract 511 from 532, we get 21.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 214 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
214 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 872.0
If we take 146 away from 214, we end up with 68.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 680 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8729.0
If we take 657 away from 680, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
73 goes into 230 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8729.3
Deduct 219 from 230 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8729.31
Subtracting 73 from 110 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 370 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8729.315
If we subtract 365 from 370, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
50 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8729.315
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.

Advancing to step 11:
500 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8729.31506
If we take 438 away from 500, we end up 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 12:
The number 73 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8729.315068
If we take 584 away from 620, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
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: 8729.3150684
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 292 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
73 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8729.31506849
If we take 657 away from 680, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8729.31506849, and the remainder is 2.3e-08.
