We're dividing 872735 by 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 872735 can be divided by 73.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
87 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 73 away from 87, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 142 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 142 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 69.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 73 from 142 to get 69.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 697 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
73 can be fit into 697 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119.0
Subtracting 657 from 697 leaves us with 40.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 403 / 73

On to step 5:
73 goes into 403 5 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1195.0
Deduct 365 from 403 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 385 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
73 goes into 385 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11955.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 365 from 385.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
73 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 54.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11955.2
Subtracting 146 from 200 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
540 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11955.27
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 511 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
290 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11955.273
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 710 9 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11955.2739
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 657 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
73 can be fit into 530 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11955.27397
If we subtract 511 from 530, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 12:
190 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11955.273972
If we subtract 146 from 190, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
73 goes into 440 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11955.2739726
Subtracting 438 from 440 leaves us 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 14:
When dividing 20 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11955.2739726
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 11955.2739726, with a leftover of 2e-08.
