Let's divide 73681978 by 149
We're looking to find how many times 149 goes into 73681978.

Let's proceed to step 1:
149 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 149

Going ahead to step 2:
149 goes into 73 0 times with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 0 from 73.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 73 and continue: 736 / 149

Step 3:
The number 149 fits into 736 4 times, leaving a remainder of 140.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 140 after subtracting 596 from 736.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 140 and continue: 1408 / 149

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 149 fits into 1408 9 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 1341 from 1408 and we're left with 67.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 67, then repeat: 671 / 149

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 671 by 149, we get 4 and a remainder of 75.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 494.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 596 from 671.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 759 / 149

Step 6:
The number 149 fits into 759 5 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4945.0
Deduct 745 from 759 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 147 / 149

On to step 7:
147 divided by 149 is 0 with a remainder of 147.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 49450.0
Deduct 0 from 147 and we're left with 147.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 147, then repeat: 1478 / 149

Going ahead to step 8:
149 goes into 1478 9 times with a remainder of 137.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 494509.0
The remainder is 137 after subtracting 1341 from 1478.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
149 goes into 1370 9 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 494509.9
Subtract 1341 from 1370 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
290 divided by 149 is 1 with a remainder of 141.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 494509.91
Deduct 149 from 290 and we're left with 141.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 1410 by 149, we get 9 and a remainder of 69.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 494509.919
If we subtract 1341 from 1410, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 690 by 149, we get 4 and a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 494509.9194
If we take 596 away from 690, we end up with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
149 goes into 940 6 times with a remainder of 46.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 494509.91946
Subtracting 894 from 940 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 14:
149 goes into 460 3 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 494509.919463
Subtract 447 from 460 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 130 by 149, we get 0 and a remainder of 130.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 494509.919463
Subtract 0 from 130 to get 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
149 goes into 1300 8 times with a remainder of 108.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 494509.91946308
Subtracting 1192 from 1300 leaves us with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 494509.91946308, and the remainder is 1.08e-07.
