218959 ÷ 73 
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 218959.

On to step 1:
73 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 73

On to step 2:
73 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 73

On to step 3:
73 goes into 218 2 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 146 from 218, we get 72.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 729 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 729 9 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 657 away from 729, we end up with 72.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 725 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 725 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 299.0
If we subtract 657 from 725, we get 68.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 689 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 689 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2999.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 657 from 689.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2999.4
If we subtract 292 from 320, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2999.43
Deduct 219 from 280 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 9:
610 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2999.438
If we take 584 away from 610, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 260 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2999.4383
Subtract 219 from 260 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 410 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2999.43835
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 365 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 450 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2999.438356
Subtract 438 from 450 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 120 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2999.4383561
If we subtract 73 from 120, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 470 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2999.43835616
Deduct 438 from 470 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 2999.43835616 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
