We're dividing 218751 by 73 
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 218751.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
73 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 218 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
73 goes into 218 2 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 146 from 218, we get 72.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 727 / 73

On to step 4:
73 can be fit into 727 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 657 from 727 leaves us with 70.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 705 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 705 9 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 299.0
If we take 657 away from 705, we end up with 48.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 481 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
481 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2996.0
If we subtract 438 from 481, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 430 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 65.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2996.5
If we take 365 away from 430, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
73 goes into 650 8 times with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2996.58
Deduct 584 from 650 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 660 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2996.589
If we subtract 657 from 660, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 10:
73 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2996.589
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2996.58904
If we subtract 292 from 300, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
80 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2996.589041
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 73 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 70 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2996.589041
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2996.58904109
Subtracting 657 from 700 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2996.58904109, with a leftover of 4.3e-08.
