We divide 156483 by 73
We want to divide 156483 by 73.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 73

Step 2:
If we divide 15 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 156 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
73 goes into 156 2 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 146 from 156 leaves us with 10.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 104 / 73

On to step 4:
73 can be fit into 104 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 73 from 104 to get 31.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 318 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 318 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 214.0
Subtract 292 from 318 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 263 / 73

Step 6:
If we divide 263 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2143.0
If we subtract 219 from 263, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
440 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2143.6
Subtracting 438 from 440 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2143.6
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 54.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2143.602
Deduct 146 from 200 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 540 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2143.6027
Deduct 511 from 540 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 290 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2143.60273
Deduct 219 from 290 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 710 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2143.602739
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 657 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 530 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2143.6027397
Subtracting 511 from 530 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
73 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2143.60273972
Subtracting 146 from 190 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2143.60273972 with a remaining 4.4e-08.
