We're dividing 731879 by 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 731879 can be divided by 73.

Advancing to step 1:
73 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 73

On to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 73 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 73 from 73 to get 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 73

On to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 18 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 100.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 73

Step 5:
73 goes into 187 2 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1002.0
Subtract 146 from 187 to get 41.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 419 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 419 5 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10025.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 365 from 419.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
73 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10025.7
Subtracting 511 from 540 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 290 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 71.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10025.73
Deduct 219 from 290 and we're left with 71.
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:
When dividing 710 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 53.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10025.739
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 530 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10025.7397
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 511 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
190 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10025.73972
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 146 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
440 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10025.739726
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.

Step 13:
73 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10025.739726
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.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10025.73972602
Subtract 146 from 200 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10025.73972602 with a remaining 5.4e-08.
