We look at the division of 687278 by 73 
We want to figure out the number of times 687278 can be divided by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 73

On to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 68 0 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 68 to get 68.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 687 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 687 9 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 657 from 687, we get 30.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 302 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 302 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 94.0
Subtract 292 from 302 to get 10.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 107 / 73

Moving on to step 5:
73 goes into 107 1 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 941.0
Deduct 73 from 107 and we're left with 34.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 348 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 348 4 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9414.0
Subtracting 292 from 348 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.

Advancing to step 7:
73 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 49.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9414.7
If we take 511 away from 560, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9414.76
If we take 438 away from 490, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
73 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9414.767
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 511 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
90 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9414.7671
Subtract 73 from 90 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 170 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9414.76712
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 146 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9414.767123
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:
73 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9414.7671232
Deduct 146 from 210 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9414.76712328
Deduct 584 from 640 and we're left 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 result is 9414.76712328 with a remainder of 5.6e-08.
