Let's divide 72723539 by 48
We want to divide 72723539 by 48.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 goes into 72 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 48 away from 72, we end up with 24.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 247 / 48

Step 3:
When dividing 247 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 240 from 247 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
48 goes into 72 1 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 151.0
Deduct 48 from 72 and we're left with 24.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 243 / 48

Step 5:
48 can be fit into 243 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1515.0
Subtract 240 from 243 to get 3.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 35 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 35 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15150.0
Deduct 0 from 35 and we're left with 35.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 353 / 48

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 353 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 151507.0
Subtract 336 from 353 to get 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 48

Going ahead to step 8:
48 can be fit into 179 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1515073.0
If we take 144 away from 179, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
48 goes into 350 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1515073.7
If we take 336 away from 350, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 140 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1515073.72
Deduct 96 from 140 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 440 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1515073.729
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1515073.7291
Subtracting 48 from 80 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
48 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1515073.72916
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1515073.729166
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1515073.729166 and a remainder of 3.2e-06.
