We divide 72987362 by 511
Our goal is to divide 72987362 by 511.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 511, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 511

On to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 511, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 729 / 511

Let's proceed to step 3:
511 can be fit into 729 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 218.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 511 away from 729, we end up with 218.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 218 and continue with: 2188 / 511

Going ahead to step 4:
511 can be fit into 2188 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 2044 from 2188 and we're left with 144.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 144 and repeat the process: 1447 / 511

Advancing to step 5:
511 goes into 1447 2 times with a remainder of 425.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142.0
Subtract 1022 from 1447 to get 425.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 425, then repeat: 4253 / 511

Moving on to step 6:
4253 divided by 511 is 8 with a remainder of 165.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1428.0
If we subtract 4088 from 4253, we get 165.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 165 and continue with: 1656 / 511

Going ahead to step 7:
1656 divided by 511 is 3 with a remainder of 123.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14283.0
Subtract 1533 from 1656 to get 123.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 123, then repeat: 1232 / 511

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 1232 by 511, we get 2 and a remainder of 210.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142832.0
Deduct 1022 from 1232 and we're left with 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
511 goes into 2100 4 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142832.4
Subtract 2044 from 2100 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 511 fits into 560 1 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 142832.41
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 490 by 511, we get 0 with a remainder of 490.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142832.41
If we take 0 away from 490, we end up with 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4900, and continue the process.

Step 12:
4900 divided by 511 is 9 with a remainder of 301.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142832.4109
Subtract 4599 from 4900 to get 301.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3010, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 3010 by 511, we get 5 with a remainder of 455.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142832.41095
If we take 2555 away from 3010, we end up with 455.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4550, and continue the process.

Step 14:
511 goes into 4550 8 times with a remainder of 462.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142832.410958
Subtracting 4088 from 4550 leaves us with 462.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
511 goes into 4620 9 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 142832.4109589
Deduct 4599 from 4620 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.

Let's proceed to step 16:
If we divide 210 by 511, we get 0 and a remainder of 210.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 142832.4109589
If we subtract 0 from 210, we get 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 142832.4109589 with a remaining 2.1e-07.
