557697 ÷ 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 557697 can be divided by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 73

On to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 557 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 557 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 511 from 557 leaves us with 46.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 466 / 73

Step 4:
73 goes into 466 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76.0
Subtracting 438 from 466 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 289 / 73

Moving on to step 5:
289 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 763.0
Deduct 219 from 289 and we're left with 70.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 707 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
73 can be fit into 707 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7639.0
Deduct 657 from 707 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 73 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7639.6
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 438 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
73 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7639.68
Subtracting 584 from 620 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7639.684
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 292 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 680 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7639.6849
Subtracting 657 from 680 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
73 can be fit into 230 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7639.68493
Subtract 219 from 230 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
73 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7639.684931
Deduct 73 from 110 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 370 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7639.6849315
If we subtract 365 from 370, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 50 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7639.6849315
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7639.6849315 with a balance of 5e-08.
