Let's divide 558478 by 73
Our goal is to divide 558478 by 73.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 558 / 73

Step 3:
73 can be fit into 558 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 511 from 558, we get 47.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 474 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
73 can be fit into 474 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 76.0
Deduct 438 from 474 and we're left with 36.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 367 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 367 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 765.0
If we subtract 365 from 367, we get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7650.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
280 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 61.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7650.3
Subtract 219 from 280 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 610 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7650.38
Subtract 584 from 610 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7650.383
Subtract 219 from 260 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
410 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7650.3835
Deduct 365 from 410 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 450 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7650.38356
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 438 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 12:
120 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7650.383561
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 73 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
73 goes into 470 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7650.3835616
Subtracting 438 from 470 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 320 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7650.38356164
Subtract 292 from 320 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7650.38356164 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
