We're dividing 146870 by 73 
We want to divide 146870 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
73 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 146 / 73

Step 3:
73 goes into 146 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 146 from 146 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
73 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
73 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 201.0
Subtracting 73 from 87 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 140 / 73

On to step 6:
73 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 67.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2011.0
Subtract 73 from 140 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
670 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2011.9
Subtract 657 from 670 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
73 can be fit into 130 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2011.91
Deduct 73 from 130 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2011.917
If we subtract 511 from 570, we get 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 10:
590 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2011.9178
Subtracting 584 from 590 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2011.9178
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2011.917808
Deduct 584 from 600 and we're left with 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 13:
If we divide 160 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2011.9178082
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 140 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2011.91780821
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.

After the division, we end up with 2011.91780821 and a remainder of 6.7e-08.
