686261 ÷ 73 
Our goal is to divide 686261 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
6 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 68 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 68 leaves us with 68.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 686 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 686 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 657 from 686.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 292 / 73

On to step 4:
292 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 94.0
If we subtract 292 from 292, we get 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 73

On to step 5:
73 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 940.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 61 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 61 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 61.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9400.0
Deduct 0 from 61 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
73 can be fit into 610 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9400.8
Subtract 584 from 610 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9400.83
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 219 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
73 goes into 410 5 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9400.835
Deduct 365 from 410 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 450 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9400.8356
Subtract 438 from 450 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9400.83561
Deduct 73 from 120 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
73 can be fit into 470 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9400.835616
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 438 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9400.8356164
If we take 292 away from 320, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 280 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 61.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9400.83561643
Deduct 219 from 280 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 9400.83561643 and a remainder of 6.1e-08.
