Let's divide 71872979 by 484
We're looking to find how many times 484 goes into 71872979.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 484, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 484

Step 2:
If we divide 71 by 484, we get 0 and a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 71 leaves us with 71.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 718 / 484

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 484 fits into 718 1 times, leaving a remainder of 234.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 484 from 718 and we're left with 234.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 234 and continue: 2347 / 484

Advancing to step 4:
The number 484 fits into 2347 4 times, leaving a remainder of 411.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 1936 from 2347 and we're left with 411.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 411, then carry on: 4112 / 484

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 4112 by 484, we get 8 and a remainder of 240.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148.0
Subtracting 3872 from 4112 leaves us with 240.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 240 and continue with: 2409 / 484

Step 6:
484 can be fit into 2409 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 473.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1484.0
If we take 1936 away from 2409, we end up with 473.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 473, then repeat: 4737 / 484

Moving on to step 7:
484 goes into 4737 9 times with a remainder of 381.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 14849.0
Subtracting 4356 from 4737 leaves us with 381.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 381 and continue with: 3819 / 484

Moving on to step 8:
484 goes into 3819 7 times with a remainder of 431.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148497.0
Deduct 3388 from 3819 and we're left with 431.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4310, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
484 goes into 4310 8 times with a remainder of 438.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148497.8
If we subtract 3872 from 4310, we get 438.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 484 fits into 4380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148497.89
Deduct 4356 from 4380 and we're left with 24.
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 11:
484 can be fit into 240 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 240.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148497.89
Subtracting 0 from 240 leaves us with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
2400 divided by 484 is 4 with a remainder of 464.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148497.8904
If we subtract 1936 from 2400, we get 464.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4640, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 484 fits into 4640 9 times, leaving a remainder of 284.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148497.89049
The remainder is 284 after subtracting 4356 from 4640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
2840 divided by 484 is 5 with a remainder of 420.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148497.890495
If we take 2420 away from 2840, we end up with 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 4200 by 484, we get 8 and a remainder of 328.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 148497.8904958
Subtracting 3872 from 4200 leaves us with 328.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3280, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 484 fits into 3280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 376.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148497.89049586
The remainder is 376 after subtracting 2904 from 3280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3760, and continue the process.

Our division results in 148497.89049586 with a remaining 3.76e-07.
