We're dividing 296243 by 73 
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 296243.

Going ahead to step 1:
73 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 296 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 296 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 292 from 296.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 73

On to step 4:
73 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 424 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 424 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 405.0
Subtract 365 from 424 to get 59.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 593 / 73

On to step 6:
If we divide 593 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 9.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4058.0
Subtracting 584 from 593 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
73 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4058.1
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 73 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4058.12
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 146 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4058.123
If we subtract 219 from 240, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 10:
210 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4058.1232
Subtracting 146 from 210 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 640 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4058.12328
If we subtract 584 from 640, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 560 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 49.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4058.123287
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 511 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 490 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4058.1232876
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 438 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
73 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4058.12328767
If we subtract 511 from 520, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4058.12328767 with a remaining 9e-09.
