Let's divide 338249 by 73
We want to divide 338249 by 73.

On to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
73 goes into 33 0 times with a remainder of 33.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 33 to get 33.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 338 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
338 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 292 away from 338, we end up with 46.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 462 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 462 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtract 438 from 462 to get 24.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 244 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 463.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 219 from 244.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 73

Step 6:
259 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 40.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4633.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 219 from 259.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
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: 4633.5
Subtracting 365 from 400 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 350 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4633.54
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 292 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4633.547
If we subtract 511 from 580, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
73 goes into 690 9 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4633.5479
If we take 657 away from 690, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 73 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4633.54794
Deduct 292 from 330 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
380 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4633.547945
Deduct 365 from 380 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 150 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4633.5479452
Deduct 146 from 150 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 40 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4633.5479452
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4633.5479452, with a leftover of 4e-08.
