401769 ÷ 73 
Our goal is to divide 401769 by 73.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 73

On to step 2:
40 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 401 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 401 5 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 365 from 401 to get 36.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 367 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
73 can be fit into 367 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 365 from 367 to get 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 73

On to step 5:
73 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 550.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 269 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 269 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 50.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5503.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 219 from 269.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5503.6
Deduct 438 from 500 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5503.68
If we take 584 away from 620, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5503.684
Subtract 292 from 360 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5503.6849
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 11:
The number 73 fits into 230 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5503.68493
Subtract 219 from 230 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 110 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5503.684931
Subtracting 73 from 110 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 370 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5503.6849315
Subtracting 365 from 370 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 50 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5503.6849315
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 5503.6849315 and a remainder of 5e-08.
