We're dividing 281715 by 73 
We want to divide 281715 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
28 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 281 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
73 can be fit into 281 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 219 from 281 and we're left with 62.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 627 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 627 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 584 from 627, we get 43.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 431 / 73

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 431 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 385.0
If we subtract 365 from 431, we get 66.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 66 and repeat the process: 665 / 73

On to step 6:
73 goes into 665 9 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3859.0
Subtract 657 from 665 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 80 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3859.1
If we take 73 away from 80, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
73 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3859.1
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3859.109
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 657 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3859.1095
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 650 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3859.10958
If we take 584 away from 650, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
660 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3859.109589
Subtract 657 from 660 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 30 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3859.109589
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 14:
The number 73 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3859.10958904
Subtracting 292 from 300 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3859.10958904 with a remaining 8e-09.
