We divide 74205009 by 173
Our goal is to divide 74205009 by 173.

On to step 1:
173 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 173

Step 2:
173 goes into 74 0 times with a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 74, we get 74.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 742 / 173

Step 3:
If we divide 742 by 173, we get 4 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 692 from 742 and we're left with 50.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 500 / 173

Step 4:
The number 173 fits into 500 2 times, leaving a remainder of 154.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 346 from 500 to get 154.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 154, then repeat: 1545 / 173

Let's proceed to step 5:
173 goes into 1545 8 times with a remainder of 161.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 428.0
The remainder is 161 after subtracting 1384 from 1545.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 161, then carry on: 1610 / 173

Going ahead to step 6:
173 goes into 1610 9 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4289.0
Deduct 1557 from 1610 and we're left with 53.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 530 / 173

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 173 fits into 530 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42893.0
Subtracting 519 from 530 leaves us with 11.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 173

Moving on to step 8:
119 divided by 173 is 0 with a remainder of 119.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 428930.0
Subtracting 0 from 119 leaves us with 119.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 173 fits into 1190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 152.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 428930.6
Subtracting 1038 from 1190 leaves us with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Step 10:
173 can be fit into 1520 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 136.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 428930.68
Subtracting 1384 from 1520 leaves us with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 1360 by 173, we get 7 with a remainder of 149.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 428930.687
Subtract 1211 from 1360 to get 149.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 1490 by 173, we get 8 with a remainder of 106.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 428930.6878
If we take 1384 away from 1490, we end up with 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Step 13:
1060 divided by 173 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 428930.68786
Subtract 1038 from 1060 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
220 divided by 173 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 428930.687861
If we subtract 173 from 220, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
470 divided by 173 is 2 with a remainder of 124.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 428930.6878612
If we take 346 away from 470, we end up with 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
173 can be fit into 1240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 428930.68786127
If we subtract 1211 from 1240, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

The final result is 428930.68786127 with a remainder of 2.9e-08.
