Let's divide 523908 by 73
We want to divide 523908 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
73 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 52 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 52 to get 52.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 523 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 523 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 511 from 523 and we're left with 12.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 73

Step 4:
129 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 56.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71.0
Subtract 73 from 129 to get 56.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 560 / 73

Step 5:
73 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 49.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 717.0
Deduct 511 from 560 and we're left with 49.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 498 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 498 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7176.0
Subtracting 438 from 498 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 600 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7176.8
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 584 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7176.82
Deduct 146 from 160 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
73 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 67.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7176.821
Subtract 73 from 140 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 670 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7176.8219
Deduct 657 from 670 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
73 goes into 130 1 times with a remainder of 57.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7176.82191
Deduct 73 from 130 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 570 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 59.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7176.821917
Subtracting 511 from 570 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
73 goes into 590 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7176.8219178
Subtract 584 from 590 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7176.8219178
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7176.8219178, and the remainder is 6e-08.
