We're dividing 588722 by 73 
We want to divide 588722 by 73.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
73 can be fit into 58 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 58 leaves us with 58.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 588 / 73

On to step 3:
73 goes into 588 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 584 from 588.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 80.0
Subtracting 0 from 47 leaves us with 47.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 472 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 472 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 806.0
Subtracting 438 from 472 leaves us with 34.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 342 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
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: 8064.0
If we take 292 away from 342, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
500 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 62.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8064.6
Subtract 438 from 500 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 73 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8064.68
Subtract 584 from 620 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
360 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8064.684
If we take 292 away from 360, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
73 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8064.6849
Deduct 657 from 680 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
73 can be fit into 230 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8064.68493
Deduct 219 from 230 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 110 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8064.684931
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
73 can be fit into 370 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8064.6849315
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 365 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 50 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8064.6849315
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8064.6849315 and a remainder of 5e-08.
