Let's divide 34397 by 73
We want to divide 34397 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 73

On to step 2:
If we divide 34 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 34.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 34, we get 34.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 343 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
343 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 292 away from 343, we end up with 51.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 519 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
519 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 511 away from 519, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 73

Moving on to step 5:
73 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 471.0
If we subtract 73 from 87, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
73 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 471.1
If we take 73 away from 140, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 670 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 471.19
If we subtract 657 from 670, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 130 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 57.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 471.191
Subtract 73 from 130 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
73 goes into 570 7 times with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 471.1917
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 511 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
73 can be fit into 590 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 471.19178
If we take 584 away from 590, we end up with 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 11:
73 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 471.19178
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up 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.

Step 12:
73 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 471.1917808
If we subtract 584 from 600, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
160 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 471.19178082
Subtracting 146 from 160 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 471.19178082 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
