We look at the division of 129685 by 73 
We want to divide 129685 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
73 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 73

Step 2:
12 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 129 / 73

On to step 3:
When dividing 129 by 73, we get 1 with a remainder of 56.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 73 from 129 leaves us with 56.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 566 / 73

On to step 4:
73 can be fit into 566 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 511 from 566 and we're left with 55.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 558 / 73

Step 5:
73 can be fit into 558 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 177.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 511 from 558.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 475 / 73

On to step 6:
73 can be fit into 475 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1776.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 438 from 475.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
370 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1776.5
Deduct 365 from 370 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
73 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1776.5
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 500 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1776.506
If we take 438 away from 500, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
620 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1776.5068
Subtract 584 from 620 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 73 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1776.50684
Subtracting 292 from 360 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1776.506849
Subtract 657 from 680 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
73 can be fit into 230 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1776.5068493
Deduct 219 from 230 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 73 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1776.50684931
Deduct 73 from 110 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1776.50684931, and the remainder is 3.7e-08.
