Let's divide 154721 by 73
We want to divide 154721 by 73.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 73

Step 2:
The number 73 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 154 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 154 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 146 from 154 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 73

Step 4:
The number 73 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 73 from 87 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 142 / 73

On to step 5:
When dividing 142 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 69.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 211.0
Subtracting 73 from 142 leaves us with 69.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 691 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 691 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2119.0
If we subtract 657 from 691, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2119.4
Deduct 292 from 340 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
73 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2119.46
If we take 438 away from 480, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
73 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2119.465
Subtracting 365 from 420 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
73 can be fit into 550 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2119.4657
Subtract 511 from 550 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
73 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2119.46575
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 365 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
250 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2119.465753
If we take 219 away from 250, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 310 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2119.4657534
Subtract 292 from 310 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 180 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2119.46575342
If we subtract 146 from 180, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2119.46575342, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
