We look at the division of 260554 by 73 
Our goal is to divide 260554 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
73 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 73

Step 2:
The number 73 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 260 / 73

Step 3:
260 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 219 from 260, we get 41.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 415 / 73

On to step 4:
When dividing 415 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 365 from 415.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 505 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 505 6 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 356.0
Subtracting 438 from 505 leaves us with 67.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 674 / 73

On to step 6:
If we divide 674 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3569.0
Subtracting 657 from 674 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
73 can be fit into 170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3569.2
Subtracting 146 from 170 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 8:
73 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3569.23
Subtracting 219 from 240 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 210 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3569.232
Subtract 146 from 210 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
73 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3569.2328
Deduct 584 from 640 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
73 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3569.23287
Subtract 511 from 560 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
73 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 52.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3569.232876
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 438 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 520 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3569.2328767
If we subtract 511 from 520, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
73 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3569.23287671
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 73 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3569.23287671 with a balance of 1.7e-08.
