144721 ÷ 73 
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 144721.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 144 / 73

On to step 3:
When dividing 144 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 71.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 73 from 144, we get 71.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 717 / 73

Step 4:
73 goes into 717 9 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 657 from 717, we get 60.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 60 and continue with: 602 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 602 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 198.0
Deduct 584 from 602 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 181 / 73

Step 6:
The number 73 fits into 181 2 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1982.0
If we subtract 146 from 181, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
73 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 58.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1982.4
Deduct 292 from 350 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
73 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1982.47
Subtract 511 from 580 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
73 goes into 690 9 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1982.479
Deduct 657 from 690 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1982.4794
Subtracting 292 from 330 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 380 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1982.47945
If we subtract 365 from 380, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 73 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1982.479452
If we take 146 away from 150, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1982.479452
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1982.47945205
Deduct 365 from 400 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1982.47945205 and a remainder of 3.5e-08.
