We divide 120509 by 73
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 120509.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 73

Step 2:
12 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 120 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
120 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 73 from 120 leaves us with 47.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 475 / 73

Step 4:
When dividing 475 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 438 from 475, we get 37.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 370 / 73

Step 5:
73 can be fit into 370 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 165.0
Subtract 365 from 370 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 59 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 59.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1650.0
If we take 0 away from 59, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
73 can be fit into 590 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1650.8
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 584 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
73 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1650.8
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
73 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1650.808
Subtracting 584 from 600 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
73 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1650.8082
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 146 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
73 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1650.80821
Subtracting 73 from 140 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 670 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1650.808219
If we take 657 away from 670, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 13:
73 can be fit into 130 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1650.8082191
If we take 73 away from 130, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
73 can be fit into 570 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1650.80821917
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 511 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1650.80821917 with a balance of 5.9e-08.
