We divide 496982 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 496982 can be divided by 73.

Step 1:
73 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
73 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 496 / 73

Step 3:
If we divide 496 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 58.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 438 from 496 to get 58.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 589 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 589 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we subtract 584 from 589, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 73

On to step 5:
73 can be fit into 58 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 680.0
Subtracting 0 from 58 leaves us with 58.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 582 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 582 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 71.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6807.0
If we subtract 511 from 582, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Step 7:
710 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6807.9
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 657 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 530 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6807.97
Subtract 511 from 530 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
190 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6807.972
Subtracting 146 from 190 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 73 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6807.9726
Subtract 438 from 440 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
73 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6807.9726
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
200 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6807.972602
Subtract 146 from 200 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 540 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6807.9726027
Subtracting 511 from 540 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
73 goes into 290 3 times with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6807.97260273
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 219 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6807.97260273, and the remainder is 7.1e-08.
