We're dividing 72418321 by 157 
We're looking to find how many times 157 goes into 72418321.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 157 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 157

Moving on to step 2:
The number 157 fits into 72 0 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 724 / 157

Step 3:
When dividing 724 by 157, we get 4 with a remainder of 96.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 628 from 724.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 96, then repeat: 961 / 157

Going ahead to step 4:
961 divided by 157 is 6 with a remainder of 19.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 942 from 961.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 198 / 157

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 198 by 157, we get 1 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 461.0
If we take 157 away from 198, we end up with 41.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 413 / 157

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 157 fits into 413 2 times, leaving a remainder of 99.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4612.0
Subtracting 314 from 413 leaves us with 99.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 99, then repeat: 992 / 157

Let's proceed to step 7:
157 can be fit into 992 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46126.0
Deduct 942 from 992 and we're left with 50.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 501 / 157

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 157 fits into 501 3 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 461263.0
If we subtract 471 from 501, we 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:
When dividing 300 by 157, we get 1 with a remainder of 143.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 461263.1
Subtract 157 from 300 to get 143.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 157 fits into 1430 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 461263.19
Subtract 1413 from 1430 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 170 by 157, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 461263.191
Deduct 157 from 170 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 157 fits into 130 0 times, leaving a remainder of 130.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 461263.191
If we subtract 0 from 130, we get 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 1300 by 157, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 461263.19108
Deduct 1256 from 1300 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 440 by 157, we get 2 with a remainder of 126.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 461263.191082
Subtract 314 from 440 to get 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 1260 by 157, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 461263.1910828
If we take 1256 away from 1260, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
157 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 461263.1910828
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 461263.1910828 with a balance of 4e-08.
