We look at the division of 578984 by 73 
We want to divide 578984 by 73.

Advancing to step 1:
73 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 57 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 0 from 57.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 57, then repeat: 578 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
73 can be fit into 578 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 511 from 578, we get 67.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 67, then repeat: 679 / 73

On to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 679 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 79.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 657 from 679.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 228 / 73

Step 5:
When dividing 228 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 793.0
If we subtract 219 from 228, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 94 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 94 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7931.0
Deduct 73 from 94 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
210 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7931.2
Deduct 146 from 210 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 640 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 56.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7931.28
Deduct 584 from 640 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
73 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7931.287
Subtracting 511 from 560 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7931.2876
If we subtract 438 from 490, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
520 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7931.28767
Subtracting 511 from 520 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 90 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7931.287671
If we take 73 away from 90, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 170 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7931.2876712
Subtracting 146 from 170 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
73 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7931.28767123
Deduct 219 from 240 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

The final result is 7931.28767123 with a remainder of 2.1e-08.
