We divide 558872 by 73
We want to divide 558872 by 73.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 55 0 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 558 / 73

Step 3:
When dividing 558 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 511 from 558.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 478 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 478 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 40.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 76.0
Subtracting 438 from 478 leaves us with 40.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 407 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
73 can be fit into 407 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 765.0
Subtract 365 from 407 to get 42.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 422 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 422 5 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7655.0
If we subtract 365 from 422, we 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 7:
570 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7655.7
Deduct 511 from 570 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
73 goes into 590 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7655.78
If we subtract 584 from 590, we get 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 9:
60 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7655.78
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
73 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7655.7808
Deduct 584 from 600 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7655.78082
Deduct 146 from 160 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 140 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 67.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7655.780821
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 670 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7655.7808219
Subtract 657 from 670 to 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 14:
When dividing 130 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 57.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7655.78082191
Subtracting 73 from 130 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7655.78082191 with a remaining 5.7e-08.
