Let's divide 479317 by 73
We want to divide 479317 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 479 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
479 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 438 from 479 and we're left with 41.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 413 / 73

Step 4:
413 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 48.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 65.0
Subtract 365 from 413 to get 48.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 481 / 73

On to step 5:
73 can be fit into 481 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 656.0
If we take 438 away from 481, we end up with 43.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 437 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
437 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 72.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6565.0
Subtracting 365 from 437 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 720 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 63.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6565.9
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 657 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 630 8 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6565.98
Subtract 584 from 630 to get 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 9:
The number 73 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6565.986
Deduct 438 from 460 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
73 can be fit into 220 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6565.9863
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 10 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6565.9863
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 100 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6565.986301
If we take 73 away from 100, we end up with 27.
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 13:
If we divide 270 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 51.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6565.9863013
Subtract 219 from 270 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 510 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 72.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6565.98630136
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.

After the division, we end up with 6565.98630136 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
