We look at the division of 72589478 by 164 
We want to divide 72589478 by 164.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 164 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 164

On to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 164, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 725 / 164

Let's proceed to step 3:
164 can be fit into 725 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 656 from 725 and we're left with 69.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 698 / 164

On to step 4:
The number 164 fits into 698 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 656 from 698.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 429 / 164

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 164 fits into 429 2 times, leaving a remainder of 101.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 442.0
If we subtract 328 from 429, we get 101.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 101 and repeat the process: 1014 / 164

Moving on to step 6:
The number 164 fits into 1014 6 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4426.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 984 from 1014.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 164

On to step 7:
The number 164 fits into 307 1 times, leaving a remainder of 143.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44261.0
Deduct 164 from 307 and we're left with 143.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 143, then carry on: 1438 / 164

Step 8:
164 can be fit into 1438 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 126.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 442618.0
Subtract 1312 from 1438 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.

Step 9:
The number 164 fits into 1260 7 times, leaving a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 442618.7
Subtract 1148 from 1260 to get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
164 goes into 1120 6 times with a remainder of 136.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 442618.76
If we take 984 away from 1120, we end up with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
1360 divided by 164 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 442618.768
If we take 1312 away from 1360, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 164, we get 2 with a remainder of 152.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 442618.7682
If we subtract 328 from 480, we get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 164 fits into 1520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 442618.76829
If we subtract 1476 from 1520, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 14:
164 goes into 440 2 times with a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 442618.768292
Deduct 328 from 440 and we're left with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 1120 by 164, we get 6 with a remainder of 136.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 442618.7682926
If we take 984 away from 1120, we end up with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
164 can be fit into 1360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 442618.76829268
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 1312 from 1360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 442618.76829268, and the remainder is 4.8e-08.
