Let's divide 34473 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 34473 can be divided by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 73

Step 2:
The number 73 fits into 34 0 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 34 to get 34.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 344 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
344 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 292 from 344 to get 52.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 527 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
527 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we subtract 511 from 527, we get 16.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 163 / 73

Step 5:
163 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 472.0
If we subtract 146 from 163, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 170 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 472.2
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 146 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 73 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 472.23
If we subtract 219 from 240, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 210 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 472.232
Deduct 146 from 210 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
73 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 472.2328
Subtract 584 from 640 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
560 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 49.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 472.23287
Deduct 511 from 560 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 472.232876
Deduct 438 from 490 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 73 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 472.2328767
Deduct 511 from 520 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 90 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 472.23287671
Deduct 73 from 90 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 472.23287671 with a remaining 1.7e-08.
