We divide 287532 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 287532 can be divided by 73.

Step 1:
73 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 73

Step 2:
If we divide 28 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 287 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
287 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 68.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 219 from 287 leaves us with 68.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 685 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 685 9 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 657 from 685 to get 28.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 283 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
73 goes into 283 3 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 393.0
Subtracting 219 from 283 leaves us with 64.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 642 / 73

On to step 6:
73 can be fit into 642 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3938.0
Subtracting 584 from 642 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 580 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 69.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3938.7
If we subtract 511 from 580, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
73 goes into 690 9 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3938.79
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 657 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
73 can be fit into 330 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3938.794
Deduct 292 from 330 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
380 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3938.7945
If we subtract 365 from 380, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 150 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3938.79452
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 146 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3938.79452
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3938.7945205
If we take 365 away from 400, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
350 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3938.79452054
Subtract 292 from 350 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3938.79452054 with a balance of 5.8e-08.
