73972350 divided by 477 
We're looking to find how many times 477 goes into 73972350.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 477, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 477

On to step 2:
The number 477 fits into 73 0 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 73 and we're left with 73.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 739 / 477

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 739 by 477, we get 1 and a remainder of 262.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 477 from 739 leaves us with 262.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 262 and continue: 2627 / 477

Going ahead to step 4:
477 goes into 2627 5 times with a remainder of 242.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 2385 from 2627 leaves us with 242.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 242 and continue with: 2422 / 477

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 2422 by 477, we get 5 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we subtract 2385 from 2422, we get 37.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 373 / 477

Step 6:
373 divided by 477 is 0 with a remainder of 373.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1550.0
Subtract 0 from 373 to get 373.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 373 and continue: 3735 / 477

Let's proceed to step 7:
3735 divided by 477 is 7 with a remainder of 396.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15507.0
Subtracting 3339 from 3735 leaves us with 396.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 396 and repeat the process: 3960 / 477

On to step 8:
3960 divided by 477 is 8 with a remainder of 144.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 155078.0
The remainder is 144 after subtracting 3816 from 3960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
477 can be fit into 1440 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 155078.3
If we subtract 1431 from 1440, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
477 can be fit into 90 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 90.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 155078.3
Deduct 0 from 90 and we're left with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 900 by 477, we get 1 and a remainder of 423.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 155078.301
Deduct 477 from 900 and we're left with 423.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 477 fits into 4230 8 times, leaving a remainder of 414.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 155078.3018
If we take 3816 away from 4230, we end up with 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 4140 by 477, we get 8 with a remainder of 324.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 155078.30188
The remainder is 324 after subtracting 3816 from 4140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 155078.30188 with a balance of 0.000324.
