We look at the division of 873408 by 73 
Our goal is to divide 873408 by 73.

On to step 1:
73 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
73 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 73 away from 87, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 143 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
143 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 70.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 73 from 143 to get 70.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 70 and continue: 704 / 73

Step 4:
704 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 119.0
Subtracting 657 from 704 leaves us with 47.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 470 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 470 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1196.0
If we subtract 438 from 470, we get 32.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 328 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
73 goes into 328 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11964.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 292 from 328.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 7:
360 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11964.4
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 292 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
680 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11964.49
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 9:
73 goes into 230 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11964.493
Subtracting 219 from 230 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 110 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11964.4931
If we subtract 73 from 110, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 370 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11964.49315
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 365 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11964.49315
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 500 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11964.4931506
If we take 438 away from 500, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11964.49315068
If we subtract 584 from 620, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 11964.49315068 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
