We're dividing 216146 by 73 
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 216146.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 216 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 216 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 70.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 146 from 216 leaves us with 70.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 701 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
701 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 657 away from 701, we end up with 44.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 444 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 444 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 296.0
If we subtract 438 from 444, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 66 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 66 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2960.0
Deduct 0 from 66 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 660 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2960.9
Deduct 657 from 660 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
73 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2960.9
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
300 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2960.904
Subtracting 292 from 300 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2960.9041
If we subtract 73 from 80, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
70 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2960.9041
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 700 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2960.904109
Subtracting 657 from 700 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
73 goes into 430 5 times with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2960.9041095
Subtract 365 from 430 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 650 8 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2960.90410958
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 584 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2960.90410958 and a remainder of 6.6e-08.
