Let's divide 56983 by 73
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 56983.

On to step 1:
73 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
73 goes into 56 0 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 56, we end up with 56.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 569 / 73

On to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 569 7 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 511 from 569 leaves us with 58.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 588 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
588 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 584 from 588.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
73 goes into 43 0 times with a remainder of 43.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 780.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 0 from 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 780.5
Subtracting 365 from 430 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
73 goes into 650 8 times with a remainder of 66.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 780.58
If we subtract 584 from 650, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
73 goes into 660 9 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 780.589
Subtracting 657 from 660 leaves us 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 9:
73 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 780.589
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
73 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 780.58904
If we subtract 292 from 300, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 80 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 780.589041
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 70 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 780.589041
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.

Moving on to step 13:
73 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 43.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 780.58904109
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 657 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Our division results in 780.58904109 with a remaining 4.3e-08.
