Let's divide 131544 by 73
We want to divide 131544 by 73.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 13 / 73

On to step 2:
13 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 13 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 131 / 73

Step 3:
The number 73 fits into 131 1 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 73 from 131 leaves us with 58.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 585 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
585 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 584 from 585.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 73

Step 5:
If we divide 14 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 180.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 144 / 73

On to step 6:
73 can be fit into 144 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1801.0
Deduct 73 from 144 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 710 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1801.9
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.

On to step 8:
73 can be fit into 530 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1801.97
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 511 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 9:
73 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1801.972
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.

On to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1801.9726
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 20 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1801.9726
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Step 12:
73 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 54.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1801.972602
If we take 146 away from 200, we end up 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.

Step 13:
73 goes into 540 7 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1801.9726027
If we take 511 away from 540, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 290 3 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1801.97260273
If we subtract 219 from 290, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1801.97260273, and the remainder is 7.1e-08.
