We look at the division of 481694 by 873 
Our goal is to divide 481694 by 873.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 873, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 873

Advancing to step 2:
48 divided by 873 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 481 / 873

Moving on to step 3:
481 divided by 873 is 0 with a remainder of 481.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 481, we end up with 481.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 481, then repeat: 4816 / 873

Advancing to step 4:
873 goes into 4816 5 times with a remainder of 451.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 4365 away from 4816, we end up with 451.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 451 and continue with: 4519 / 873

On to step 5:
4519 divided by 873 is 5 with a remainder of 154.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 4365 from 4519, we get 154.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 154, then repeat: 1544 / 873

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 1544 by 873, we get 1 with a remainder of 671.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 551.0
If we take 873 away from 1544, we end up with 671.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6710, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
873 goes into 6710 7 times with a remainder of 599.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 551.7
Subtract 6111 from 6710 to get 599.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5990, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
873 can be fit into 5990 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 752.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 551.76
If we subtract 5238 from 5990, we get 752.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 873 fits into 7520 8 times, leaving a remainder of 536.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 551.768
Deduct 6984 from 7520 and we're left with 536.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5360, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 5360 by 873, we get 6 with a remainder of 122.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 551.7686
Subtract 5238 from 5360 to get 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
873 can be fit into 1220 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 347.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 551.76861
If we subtract 873 from 1220, we get 347.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3470, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 3470 by 873, we get 3 with a remainder of 851.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 551.768613
The remainder is 851 after subtracting 2619 from 3470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8510, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 8510 by 873, we get 9 and a remainder of 653.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 551.7686139
If we subtract 7857 from 8510, we get 653.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 873 fits into 6530 7 times, leaving a remainder of 419.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 551.76861397
If we take 6111 away from 6530, we end up with 419.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4190, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 551.76861397 with a balance of 4.19e-07.
