Let's divide 73574397 by 257
We want to divide 73574397 by 257.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 257, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 73 / 257

Step 2:
The number 257 fits into 73 0 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 73 and we're left with 73.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 73 and continue: 735 / 257

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 257 fits into 735 2 times, leaving a remainder of 221.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 514 from 735 and we're left with 221.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 221, then repeat: 2217 / 257

On to step 4:
When dividing 2217 by 257, we get 8 with a remainder of 161.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 2056 from 2217 and we're left with 161.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 161 and continue: 1614 / 257

On to step 5:
When dividing 1614 by 257, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 286.0
If we subtract 1542 from 1614, we get 72.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 723 / 257

Advancing to step 6:
257 can be fit into 723 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 209.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2862.0
Subtract 514 from 723 to get 209.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 209 and continue with: 2099 / 257

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 2099 by 257, we get 8 and a remainder of 43.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28628.0
If we subtract 2056 from 2099, we get 43.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 437 / 257

Going ahead to step 8:
257 goes into 437 1 times with a remainder of 180.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 286281.0
Deduct 257 from 437 and we're left with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 1800 by 257, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 286281.7
Subtract 1799 from 1800 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
10 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 286281.7
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
257 can be fit into 100 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 100.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 286281.7
If we subtract 0 from 100, we get 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

The final result is 286281.7 with a remainder of 0.01.
