We divide 248731 by 73
Our goal is to divide 248731 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
73 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
73 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 248 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
73 can be fit into 248 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 219 from 248 and we're left with 29.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 297 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 297 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 5.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtract 292 from 297 to get 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
73 can be fit into 53 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 340.0
If we take 0 away from 53, we end up with 53.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 531 / 73

Advancing to step 6:
531 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3407.0
Subtract 511 from 531 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 200 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 54.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3407.2
Subtract 146 from 200 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3407.27
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 511 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 9:
290 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3407.273
If we take 219 away from 290, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 710 9 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3407.2739
Subtracting 657 from 710 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 530 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3407.27397
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 511 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 190 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3407.273972
Subtracting 146 from 190 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3407.2739726
If we subtract 438 from 440, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3407.2739726
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3407.2739726 and a remainder of 2e-08.
