We're dividing 72636905 by 538 
Our goal is to divide 72636905 by 538.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 538, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 538

Step 2:
The number 538 fits into 72 0 times, leaving 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.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 726 / 538

Going ahead to step 3:
538 can be fit into 726 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 188.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 538 from 726 to get 188.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 188 and continue: 1883 / 538

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 538 fits into 1883 3 times, leaving a remainder of 269.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 1614 from 1883, we get 269.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 269 and continue: 2696 / 538

On to step 5:
538 can be fit into 2696 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 135.0
Subtracting 2690 from 2696 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 538

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 69 by 538, we get 0 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1350.0
Subtracting 0 from 69 leaves us with 69.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 690 / 538

Let's proceed to step 7:
690 divided by 538 is 1 with a remainder of 152.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13501.0
Subtract 538 from 690 to get 152.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 152, then repeat: 1525 / 538

Step 8:
538 goes into 1525 2 times with a remainder of 449.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 135012.0
If we take 1076 away from 1525, we end up with 449.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
538 can be fit into 4490 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 186.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 135012.8
The remainder is 186 after subtracting 4304 from 4490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
1860 divided by 538 is 3 with a remainder of 246.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 135012.83
The remainder is 246 after subtracting 1614 from 1860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
538 goes into 2460 4 times with a remainder of 308.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 135012.834
Deduct 2152 from 2460 and we're left with 308.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 3080 by 538, we get 5 and a remainder of 390.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 135012.8345
Subtracting 2690 from 3080 leaves us with 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3900, and continue the process.

Step 13:
538 goes into 3900 7 times with a remainder of 134.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 135012.83457
If we subtract 3766 from 3900, we get 134.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
538 goes into 1340 2 times with a remainder of 264.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 135012.834572
Deduct 1076 from 1340 and we're left with 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2640, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 538 fits into 2640 4 times, leaving a remainder of 488.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 135012.8345724
Subtracting 2152 from 2640 leaves us with 488.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
538 can be fit into 4880 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 135012.83457249
If we subtract 4842 from 4880, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Our division results in 135012.83457249 with a remaining 3.8e-08.
