We're dividing 427478 by 73 
We want to divide 427478 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
42 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 427 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 427 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 365 away from 427, we end up with 62.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 624 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
73 can be fit into 624 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 584 from 624.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 407 / 73

Step 5:
73 can be fit into 407 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 585.0
If we subtract 365 from 407, we get 42.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 428 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
73 can be fit into 428 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5855.0
If we subtract 365 from 428, we get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 630 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5855.8
Deduct 584 from 630 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
460 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5855.86
Subtracting 438 from 460 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
73 goes into 220 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5855.863
Deduct 219 from 220 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 10:
73 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5855.863
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5855.86301
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 73 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5855.863013
Deduct 219 from 270 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 13:
73 goes into 510 6 times with a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5855.8630136
If we subtract 438 from 510, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
73 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5855.86301369
If we take 657 away from 720, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5855.86301369, and the remainder is 6.3e-08.
