We're dividing 272401 by 73 
Our goal is to divide 272401 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 73

On to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 272 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
272 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 53.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 219 from 272 and we're left with 53.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 534 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 534 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 511 away from 534, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 230 / 73

On to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 230 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 373.0
If we subtract 219 from 230, we get 11.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 111 / 73

Step 6:
The number 73 fits into 111 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3731.0
If we subtract 73 from 111, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3731.5
If we subtract 365 from 380, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 150 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3731.52
Subtracting 146 from 150 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3731.52
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
73 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3731.5205
If we subtract 365 from 400, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 11:
73 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3731.52054
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 292 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
580 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3731.520547
Subtract 511 from 580 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
690 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3731.5205479
Subtract 657 from 690 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3731.52054794
Subtract 292 from 330 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final result is 3731.52054794 with a remainder of 3.8e-08.
