We look at the division of 117482 by 73 
We want to divide 117482 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 73

On to step 2:
11 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 117 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 117 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 44.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 73 from 117 leaves us with 44.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 444 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 444 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 438 from 444 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
68 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 160.0
If we take 0 away from 68, we end up with 68.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 682 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
73 goes into 682 9 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1609.0
If we take 657 away from 682, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
73 can be fit into 250 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1609.3
Subtract 219 from 250 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 310 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1609.34
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 292 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 9:
73 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1609.342
Deduct 146 from 180 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 340 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1609.3424
Subtract 292 from 340 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 480 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 42.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1609.34246
If we take 438 away from 480, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 420 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1609.342465
If we take 365 away from 420, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
73 goes into 550 7 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1609.3424657
Deduct 511 from 550 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 390 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1609.34246575
If we subtract 365 from 390, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1609.34246575 with a remaining 2.5e-08.
