243040 divided by 73 
Our goal is to divide 243040 by 73.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 73

On to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 243 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
73 can be fit into 243 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 219 away from 243, we end up with 24.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 240 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 240 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
Deduct 219 from 240 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 214 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 214 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 332.0
Deduct 146 from 214 and we're left with 68.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 680 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 680 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3329.0
Deduct 657 from 680 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
230 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3329.3
If we take 219 away from 230, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 110 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3329.31
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 73 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 9:
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: 3329.315
Deduct 365 from 370 and we're left with 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 10:
The number 73 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3329.315
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
500 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 62.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3329.31506
If we subtract 438 from 500, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
73 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3329.315068
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 584 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 360 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3329.3150684
If we take 292 away from 360, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3329.31506849
If we subtract 657 from 680, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3329.31506849 with a balance of 2.3e-08.
