We're dividing 551342 by 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 551342 can be divided by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 73

Step 2:
73 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 551 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 551 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 511 away from 551, we end up with 40.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 403 / 73

On to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 403 5 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtract 365 from 403 to get 38.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 384 / 73

Step 5:
The number 73 fits into 384 5 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 755.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 365 from 384.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 192 / 73

On to step 6:
When dividing 192 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7552.0
Subtracting 146 from 192 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 73 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7552.6
If we take 438 away from 460, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7552.63
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 219 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 10 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7552.63
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
73 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7552.6301
If we take 73 away from 100, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
73 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7552.63013
Subtracting 219 from 270 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 510 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7552.630136
Subtract 438 from 510 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
720 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7552.6301369
Deduct 657 from 720 and we're left with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 630 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7552.63013698
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 584 from 630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7552.63013698 with a remaining 4.6e-08.
