We divide 978254 by 73
We want to divide 978254 by 73.

On to step 1:
73 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 73

On to step 2:
73 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 73 from 97 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 248 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 248 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 219 away from 248, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 292 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 292 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 134.0
Deduct 292 from 292 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 73

On to step 5:
73 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1340.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
54 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13400.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 0 from 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13400.7
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 511 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 290 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13400.73
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 219 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 710 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 53.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13400.739
Deduct 657 from 710 and we're left with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
73 goes into 530 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13400.7397
If we take 511 away from 530, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
73 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13400.73972
Subtract 146 from 190 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 440 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13400.739726
Deduct 438 from 440 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
73 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13400.739726
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13400.73972602
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 146 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 13400.73972602, with a leftover of 5.4e-08.
