We're dividing 299147 by 73 
We want to divide 299147 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
73 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 73

Step 2:
73 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 299 / 73

Step 3:
73 goes into 299 4 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 292 from 299 to get 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 71 0 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtracting 0 from 71 leaves us with 71.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 714 / 73

On to step 5:
When dividing 714 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 409.0
If we take 657 away from 714, we end up with 57.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 577 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 577 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 66.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4097.0
Subtract 511 from 577 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 660 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4097.9
Subtracting 657 from 660 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 30 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4097.9
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
73 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4097.904
Subtract 292 from 300 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
73 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4097.9041
If we subtract 73 from 80, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
73 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4097.9041
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 700 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 43.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4097.904109
If we subtract 657 from 700, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
73 can be fit into 430 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4097.9041095
Subtract 365 from 430 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 650 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 66.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4097.90410958
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 584 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4097.90410958 with a balance of 6.6e-08.
