We're dividing 85871419 by 73 
We want to divide 85871419 by 73.

Step 1:
73 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 85 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
85 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 73 from 85 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 128 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 128 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 73 from 128.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 557 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 557 7 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we take 511 away from 557, we end up with 46.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 461 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
461 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 23.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1176.0
Subtract 438 from 461 to get 23.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 234 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 234 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11763.0
If we take 219 away from 234, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 151 / 73

Let's proceed to step 7:
73 goes into 151 2 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 117632.0
Subtract 146 from 151 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 73

Going ahead to step 8:
73 can be fit into 59 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1176320.0
Deduct 0 from 59 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 590 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1176320.8
If we take 584 away from 590, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
73 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1176320.8
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
73 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1176320.808
Subtract 584 from 600 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
73 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1176320.8082
Subtracting 146 from 160 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
140 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 67.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1176320.80821
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 73 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
73 can be fit into 670 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1176320.808219
Deduct 657 from 670 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
73 goes into 130 1 times with a remainder of 57.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1176320.8082191
Subtracting 73 from 130 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 570 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1176320.80821917
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 511 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

The final result is 1176320.80821917 with a remainder of 5.9e-08.
