231831 ÷ 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 231831 can be divided by 73.

Advancing to step 1:
73 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 73

Step 2:
73 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 231 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 231 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 219 from 231, we get 12.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 73

Step 4:
73 goes into 128 1 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 73 from 128 leaves us with 55.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 553 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 553 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 317.0
Deduct 511 from 553 and we're left with 42.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 421 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
421 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 56.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3175.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 365 from 421.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3175.7
Subtract 511 from 560 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
73 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3175.76
Deduct 438 from 490 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 520 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3175.767
If we subtract 511 from 520, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3175.7671
If we take 73 away from 90, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 170 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3175.76712
Deduct 146 from 170 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3175.767123
Deduct 219 from 240 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 210 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3175.7671232
If we take 146 away from 210, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 73 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3175.76712328
Subtracting 584 from 640 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3175.76712328, with a leftover of 5.6e-08.
