Let's divide 145885 by 73
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 145885.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 73

On to step 2:
73 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 145 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
73 goes into 145 1 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 73 from 145 leaves us with 72.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 728 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
73 goes into 728 9 times with a remainder of 71.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 657 away from 728, we end up with 71.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 718 / 73

On to step 5:
If we divide 718 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 61.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 199.0
If we subtract 657 from 718, we get 61.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 615 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
73 goes into 615 8 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1998.0
If we subtract 584 from 615, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
310 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1998.4
Subtract 292 from 310 to 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 8:
73 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1998.42
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
340 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1998.424
Subtracting 292 from 340 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
73 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1998.4246
Deduct 438 from 480 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1998.42465
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 550 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 39.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1998.424657
If we take 511 away from 550, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
390 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1998.4246575
Deduct 365 from 390 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
73 goes into 250 3 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1998.42465753
Deduct 219 from 250 and we're left 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.

The final result is 1998.42465753 with a remainder of 3.1e-08.
