We divide 342772 by 73
Our goal is to divide 342772 by 73.

Step 1:
3 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 73

Step 2:
73 can be fit into 34 0 times, resulting in 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 (2) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 342 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 342 4 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 292 away from 342, we end up with 50.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 507 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 507 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 69.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 438 from 507, we get 69.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 697 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 697 9 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 469.0
If we subtract 657 from 697, we get 40.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 402 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
402 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4695.0
If we take 365 away from 402, we end up 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 7:
73 goes into 370 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4695.5
Subtracting 365 from 370 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
50 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4695.5
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 500 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 62.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4695.506
Subtracting 438 from 500 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4695.5068
Deduct 584 from 620 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
73 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4695.50684
If we subtract 292 from 360, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4695.506849
If we subtract 657 from 680, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 230 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4695.5068493
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 219 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 110 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4695.50684931
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.

Our division results in 4695.50684931 with a remaining 3.7e-08.
