217412 ÷ 73 
Our goal is to divide 217412 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
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
217 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 71.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 146 from 217 and we're left with 71.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 714 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
714 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 657 away from 714, we end up with 57.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 571 / 73

Step 5:
73 goes into 571 7 times with a remainder of 60.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 297.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 511 from 571.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 602 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 602 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2978.0
If we subtract 584 from 602, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2978.2
If we subtract 146 from 180, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
73 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2978.24
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 292 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
73 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2978.246
If we subtract 438 from 480, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 420 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2978.2465
Subtract 365 from 420 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 550 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 39.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2978.24657
Subtract 511 from 550 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
73 goes into 390 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2978.246575
Deduct 365 from 390 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 250 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2978.2465753
Subtracting 219 from 250 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
73 can be fit into 310 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2978.24657534
Subtracting 292 from 310 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2978.24657534 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
