We're dividing 16709 by 73 
We want to divide 16709 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
73 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 167 / 73

Step 3:
73 can be fit into 167 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 146 from 167.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 210 / 73

Step 4:
The number 73 fits into 210 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 146 from 210 and we're left with 64.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 649 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 649 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 228.0
Subtracting 584 from 649 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 650 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 66.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 228.8
If we take 584 away from 650, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 660 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 228.89
Subtract 657 from 660 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 30 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 228.89
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
300 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 228.8904
Deduct 292 from 300 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
73 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 228.89041
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 73 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
70 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 228.89041
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
73 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 228.8904109
If we take 657 away from 700, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
73 can be fit into 430 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 228.89041095
If we take 365 away from 430, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Our division results in 228.89041095 with a remaining 6.5e-08.
