We divide 304492 by 73
Our goal is to divide 304492 by 73.

On to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 304 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 304 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 292 from 304, we get 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 73

Step 4:
124 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtracting 73 from 124 leaves us with 51.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 519 / 73

Step 5:
If we divide 519 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 417.0
Subtract 511 from 519 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 82 / 73

On to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 82 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4171.0
Subtracting 73 from 82 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4171.1
Subtracting 73 from 90 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 170 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4171.12
If we subtract 146 from 170, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
73 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4171.123
If we take 219 away from 240, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 210 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4171.1232
Deduct 146 from 210 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 640 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4171.12328
If we subtract 584 from 640, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
73 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 49.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4171.123287
Subtracting 511 from 560 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4171.1232876
If we take 438 away from 490, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 520 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4171.12328767
If we subtract 511 from 520, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4171.12328767 with a remaining 9e-09.
