72712904 divided by 79 
We want to divide 72712904 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
79 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 727 / 79

Step 3:
79 can be fit into 727 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 711 from 727.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 79

On to step 4:
If we divide 161 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 92.0
If we take 158 away from 161, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
79 can be fit into 32 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 920.0
Subtract 0 from 32 to get 32.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 329 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 329 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 13.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9204.0
Subtracting 316 from 329 leaves us with 13.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 130 / 79

Let's proceed to step 7:
79 goes into 130 1 times with a remainder of 51.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 92041.0
If we subtract 79 from 130, we get 51.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 514 / 79

Let's proceed to step 8:
514 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 920416.0
Subtracting 474 from 514 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 79, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 920416.5
If we subtract 395 from 400, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
50 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 920416.5
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 500 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 26.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 920416.506
If we subtract 474 from 500, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 23.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 920416.5063
If we take 237 away from 260, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
79 goes into 230 2 times with a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 920416.50632
Subtract 158 from 230 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 720 by 79, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 920416.506329
Deduct 711 from 720 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 90 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 920416.5063291
Deduct 79 from 90 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
79 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 920416.50632911
If we take 79 away from 110, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The final result is 920416.50632911 with a remainder of 3.1e-08.
