We divide 260998 by 73
Our goal is to divide 260998 by 73.

Step 1:
The number 73 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
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:
73 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 260 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 260 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 41.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 219 from 260.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 419 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
73 can be fit into 419 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 365 away from 419, we end up with 54.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 549 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
73 goes into 549 7 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 357.0
If we subtract 511 from 549, we get 38.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 388 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 388 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3575.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 365 from 388.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3575.3
If we subtract 219 from 230, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
110 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3575.31
Subtract 73 from 110 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
73 can be fit into 370 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3575.315
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 365 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
73 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3575.315
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
73 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3575.31506
Deduct 438 from 500 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
73 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3575.315068
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 584 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3575.3150684
If we subtract 292 from 360, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
680 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3575.31506849
Deduct 657 from 680 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3575.31506849, and the remainder is 2.3e-08.
