We're dividing 311947 by 73 
We want to divide 311947 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 311 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 311 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 292 from 311 and we're left with 19.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 199 / 73

Step 4:
The number 73 fits into 199 2 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we subtract 146 from 199, we get 53.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 534 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 534 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 427.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 511 from 534.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 237 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
73 can be fit into 237 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4273.0
Deduct 219 from 237 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 180 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4273.2
Deduct 146 from 180 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
340 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4273.24
Deduct 292 from 340 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
73 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4273.246
If we take 438 away from 480, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 420 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4273.2465
Subtracting 365 from 420 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 550 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4273.24657
Subtract 511 from 550 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 390 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4273.246575
If we take 365 away from 390, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 250 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4273.2465753
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 219 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
73 goes into 310 4 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4273.24657534
If we take 292 away from 310, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4273.24657534 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
