We look at the division of 250742 by 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 250742 can be divided by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 250 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
250 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 219 from 250 to get 31.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 317 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 317 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 25.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtract 292 from 317 to get 25.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 73

Step 5:
73 can be fit into 254 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 343.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 219 from 254.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 352 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
73 can be fit into 352 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3434.0
If we subtract 292 from 352, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 7:
600 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3434.8
Deduct 584 from 600 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
73 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3434.82
Subtract 146 from 160 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
140 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 67.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3434.821
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 73 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
670 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3434.8219
Subtract 657 from 670 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 130 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3434.82191
Deduct 73 from 130 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3434.821917
If we subtract 511 from 570, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 590 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3434.8219178
Subtract 584 from 590 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
73 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3434.8219178
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3434.8219178, with a leftover of 6e-08.
