Let's divide 551538 by 73
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 551538.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 0 from 55.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 551 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 551 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 511 away from 551, we end up with 40.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 405 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 405 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtracting 365 from 405 leaves us with 40.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 403 / 73

Step 5:
73 can be fit into 403 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 755.0
Subtract 365 from 403 to get 38.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 388 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
388 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7555.0
If we take 365 away from 388, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 230 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7555.3
If we subtract 219 from 230, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 110 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7555.31
If we subtract 73 from 110, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 370 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7555.315
Subtract 365 from 370 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 50 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7555.315
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7555.31506
Subtracting 438 from 500 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
620 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7555.315068
Deduct 584 from 620 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
360 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7555.3150684
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 292 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 680 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7555.31506849
Subtracting 657 from 680 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7555.31506849, with a leftover of 2.3e-08.
