We're dividing 282691 by 73 
We want to divide 282691 by 73.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 282 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
282 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 219 from 282 and we're left with 63.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 636 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 636 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 52.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 584 from 636 and we're left with 52.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 529 / 73

Moving on to step 5:
73 can be fit into 529 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 387.0
Subtracting 511 from 529 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 181 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 181 2 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3872.0
Deduct 146 from 181 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
73 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3872.4
Subtract 292 from 350 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3872.47
Subtracting 511 from 580 leaves us with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 9:
73 can be fit into 690 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3872.479
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 657 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 330 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3872.4794
Subtract 292 from 330 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 380 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3872.47945
If we take 365 away from 380, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
73 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3872.479452
Subtracting 146 from 150 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
40 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3872.479452
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
73 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3872.47945205
Subtract 365 from 400 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3872.47945205 with a balance of 3.5e-08.
