We're dividing 12344471 by 873 
We want to figure out the number of times 12344471 can be divided by 873.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 873, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 873

On to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 873, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 123 / 873

Advancing to step 3:
873 can be fit into 123 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 123.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 123, we get 123.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 123 and repeat the process: 1234 / 873

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 1234 by 873, we get 1 with a remainder of 361.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 873 from 1234 leaves us with 361.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 361, then repeat: 3614 / 873

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 3614 by 873, we get 4 with a remainder of 122.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 3492 from 3614, we get 122.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 122 and repeat the process: 1224 / 873

On to step 6:
1224 divided by 873 is 1 with a remainder of 351.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 141.0
The remainder is 351 after subtracting 873 from 1224.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 351, then repeat: 3517 / 873

Moving on to step 7:
3517 divided by 873 is 4 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1414.0
If we subtract 3492 from 3517, we get 25.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 251 / 873

Moving on to step 8:
251 divided by 873 is 0 with a remainder of 251.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14140.0
Subtracting 0 from 251 leaves us with 251.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2510, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
2510 divided by 873 is 2 with a remainder of 764.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14140.2
The remainder is 764 after subtracting 1746 from 2510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
873 can be fit into 7640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 656.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14140.28
Subtracting 6984 from 7640 leaves us with 656.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 6560 by 873, we get 7 with a remainder of 449.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14140.287
Subtracting 6111 from 6560 leaves us with 449.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4490, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
873 goes into 4490 5 times with a remainder of 125.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14140.2875
The remainder is 125 after subtracting 4365 from 4490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 1250 by 873, we get 1 with a remainder of 377.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14140.28751
If we take 873 away from 1250, we end up with 377.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3770, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 3770 by 873, we get 4 with a remainder of 278.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14140.287514
If we subtract 3492 from 3770, we get 278.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
873 goes into 2780 3 times with a remainder of 161.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14140.2875143
Deduct 2619 from 2780 and we're left with 161.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 873 fits into 1610 1 times, leaving a remainder of 737.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14140.28751431
Subtract 873 from 1610 to get 737.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7370, and continue the process.

Our division results in 14140.28751431 with a remaining 7.37e-07.
