Let's divide 914872 by 73
We want to divide 914872 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
73 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 91 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 91 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 73 from 91 leaves us with 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 184 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 146 from 184 and we're left with 38.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 388 / 73

Step 4:
If we divide 388 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 23.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 125.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 365 from 388.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 237 / 73

Step 5:
73 goes into 237 3 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1253.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 219 from 237.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 182 / 73

Step 6:
73 can be fit into 182 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12532.0
Subtracting 146 from 182 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 7:
73 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12532.4
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12532.49
Subtract 657 from 680 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 230 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12532.493
If we take 219 away from 230, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 110 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12532.4931
Subtract 73 from 110 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 370 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12532.49315
If we take 365 away from 370, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
50 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12532.49315
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 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 13:
If we divide 500 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12532.4931506
If we subtract 438 from 500, we 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.

On to step 14:
73 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12532.49315068
If we take 584 away from 620, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12532.49315068 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
