We divide 72219896 by 142
We want to divide 72219896 by 142.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 142, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our 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 / 142

Advancing to step 2:
142 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 72 leaves us with 72.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 722 / 142

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 722 by 142, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 710 from 722, we get 12.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 121 / 142

Let's proceed to step 4:
121 divided by 142 is 0 with a remainder of 121.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtracting 0 from 121 leaves us with 121.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 121, then carry on: 1219 / 142

Let's proceed to step 5:
142 goes into 1219 8 times with a remainder of 83.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 508.0
Subtracting 1136 from 1219 leaves us with 83.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 83 and repeat the process: 838 / 142

Let's proceed to step 6:
142 goes into 838 5 times with a remainder of 128.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5085.0
If we subtract 710 from 838, we get 128.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 128, then carry on: 1289 / 142

Advancing to step 7:
1289 divided by 142 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50859.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 1278 from 1289.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 116 / 142

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 142 fits into 116 0 times, leaving a remainder of 116.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 508590.0
Deduct 0 from 116 and we're left with 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 1160 by 142, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 508590.8
If we take 1136 away from 1160, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
142 goes into 240 1 times with a remainder of 98.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 508590.81
If we take 142 away from 240, we end up with 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 980 by 142, we get 6 with a remainder of 128.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 508590.816
If we take 852 away from 980, we end up with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 1280 by 142, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 508590.8169
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 1278 from 1280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 142 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 508590.8169
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
200 divided by 142 is 1 with a remainder of 58.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 508590.816901
Subtracting 142 from 200 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 580 by 142, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 508590.8169014
Subtract 568 from 580 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 142 fits into 120 0 times, leaving a remainder of 120.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 508590.8169014
Deduct 0 from 120 and we're left with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 508590.8169014 with a balance of 1.2e-07.
