We're dividing 287861 by 73 
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 287861.

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
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 73

Step 2:
When dividing 28 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 287 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 287 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 68.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 219 from 287 to get 68.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 688 / 73

Step 4:
When dividing 688 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 657 from 688.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 316 / 73

Step 5:
316 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 394.0
If we subtract 292 from 316, we get 24.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 241 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
73 can be fit into 241 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3943.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 219 from 241.
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 7:
If we divide 220 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3943.3
If we take 219 away from 220, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3943.3
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
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: 3943.301
If we subtract 73 from 100, we get 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 10:
73 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3943.3013
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.

Step 11:
73 can be fit into 510 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3943.30136
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 438 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
720 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3943.301369
Subtract 657 from 720 to 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.

On to step 13:
73 can be fit into 630 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3943.3013698
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 14:
73 can be fit into 460 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3943.30136986
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.

The quotient of the division is 3943.30136986, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
