We look at the division of 498689 by 73 
Our goal is to divide 498689 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
73 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
49 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 498 / 73

On to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 498 6 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 438 from 498 leaves us with 60.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 606 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 606 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 68.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 584 from 606.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 228 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
73 can be fit into 228 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 683.0
Deduct 219 from 228 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 73

On to step 6:
If we divide 99 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6831.0
Subtracting 73 from 99 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 260 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 41.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6831.3
If we subtract 219 from 260, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
73 can be fit into 410 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6831.35
Subtracting 365 from 410 leaves us 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 9:
73 can be fit into 450 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6831.356
Subtracting 438 from 450 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6831.3561
Deduct 73 from 120 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 470 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6831.35616
If we take 438 away from 470, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
320 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6831.356164
If we subtract 292 from 320, we 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.

Moving on to step 13:
73 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 61.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6831.3561643
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 219 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 610 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6831.35616438
Subtracting 584 from 610 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6831.35616438 and a remainder of 2.6e-08.
