24708 ÷ 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 24708 can be divided by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 247 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
73 goes into 247 3 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 219 from 247.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 280 / 73

Step 4:
If we divide 280 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 61.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 219 from 280.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 618 / 73

Step 5:
If we divide 618 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 338.0
If we take 584 away from 618, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
73 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 338.4
If we subtract 292 from 340, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 338.46
If we take 438 away from 480, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
73 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 338.465
Subtracting 365 from 420 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
73 can be fit into 550 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 338.4657
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
73 goes into 390 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 338.46575
If we take 365 away from 390, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 250 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 338.465753
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.

Step 12:
310 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 338.4657534
If we subtract 292 from 310, 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 13:
180 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 338.46575342
If we take 146 away from 180, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 338.46575342 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
