We're dividing 207887 by 73 
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 207887.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
73 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 207 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
207 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 61.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 146 from 207.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 618 / 73

Step 4:
618 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 584 away from 618, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 348 / 73

On to step 5:
348 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 56.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 284.0
Deduct 292 from 348 and we're left with 56.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 567 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 567 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2847.0
If we subtract 511 from 567, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
73 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 49.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2847.7
Subtracting 511 from 560 leaves us with 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 8:
490 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2847.76
Deduct 438 from 490 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 520 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2847.767
Subtract 511 from 520 to 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.

On to step 10:
73 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2847.7671
If we subtract 73 from 90, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
73 goes into 170 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2847.76712
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 146 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
240 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2847.767123
If we take 219 away from 240, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 210 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2847.7671232
Deduct 146 from 210 and we're left with 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 14:
If we divide 640 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2847.76712328
If we subtract 584 from 640, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2847.76712328, and the remainder is 5.6e-08.
