Let's divide 817978 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 817978 can be divided by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 81 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 73 from 81 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
73 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 73 from 87 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 149 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
73 can be fit into 149 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 112.0
Deduct 146 from 149 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 73

On to step 5:
37 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1120.0
If we subtract 0 from 37, we get 37.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 378 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
73 can be fit into 378 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11205.0
Subtracting 365 from 378 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
73 goes into 130 1 times with a remainder of 57.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11205.1
Subtracting 73 from 130 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 570 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11205.17
Subtract 511 from 570 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 590 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11205.178
Deduct 584 from 590 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11205.178
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
73 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11205.17808
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 584 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11205.178082
If we take 146 away from 160, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
73 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 67.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11205.1780821
Subtract 73 from 140 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 670 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11205.17808219
Subtracting 657 from 670 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11205.17808219 with a remaining 1.3e-08.
