We divide 74288595 by 973
Let's see how many times 973 fits into 74288595.

Advancing to step 1:
973 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 973

Moving on to step 2:
The number 973 fits into 74 0 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 0 from 74.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 74, then carry on: 742 / 973

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 742 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 742.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 742 and we're left with 742.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 742, then repeat: 7428 / 973

On to step 4:
7428 divided by 973 is 7 with a remainder of 617.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 6811 away from 7428, we end up with 617.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 617, then carry on: 6178 / 973

Let's proceed to step 5:
973 can be fit into 6178 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 340.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 76.0
If we subtract 5838 from 6178, we get 340.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 340 and repeat the process: 3405 / 973

On to step 6:
When dividing 3405 by 973, we get 3 with a remainder of 486.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 763.0
If we take 2919 away from 3405, we end up with 486.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 486, then repeat: 4869 / 973

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 4869 by 973, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7635.0
If we take 4865 away from 4869, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 45 / 973

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 45 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76350.0
Subtracting 0 from 45 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
973 can be fit into 450 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 450.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 76350.0
If we take 0 away from 450, we end up with 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4500, and continue the process.

Step 10:
4500 divided by 973 is 4 with a remainder of 608.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 76350.04
If we take 3892 away from 4500, we end up with 608.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6080, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
973 can be fit into 6080 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 242.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 76350.046
Deduct 5838 from 6080 and we're left with 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
2420 divided by 973 is 2 with a remainder of 474.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 76350.0462
Subtract 1946 from 2420 to get 474.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
4740 divided by 973 is 4 with a remainder of 848.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 76350.04624
Deduct 3892 from 4740 and we're left with 848.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 8480 by 973, we get 8 with a remainder of 696.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76350.046248
Subtract 7784 from 8480 to get 696.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6960, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 6960 by 973, we get 7 and a remainder of 149.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 76350.0462487
The remainder is 149 after subtracting 6811 from 6960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1490, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
If we divide 1490 by 973, we get 1 and a remainder of 517.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 76350.04624871
If we subtract 973 from 1490, we get 517.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 76350.04624871 with a balance of 5.17e-07.
