We're dividing 72986301 by 647 
We want to divide 72986301 by 647.

Advancing to step 1:
647 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 647

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 647, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 729 / 647

Let's proceed to step 3:
647 goes into 729 1 times with a remainder of 82.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 647 from 729.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 82, then repeat: 828 / 647

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 647 fits into 828 1 times, leaving a remainder of 181.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 647 away from 828, we end up with 181.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 181 and continue: 1816 / 647

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 1816 by 647, we get 2 and a remainder of 522.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 112.0
Subtracting 1294 from 1816 leaves us with 522.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 522, then carry on: 5223 / 647

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 647 fits into 5223 8 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1128.0
Subtract 5176 from 5223 to get 47.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 470 / 647

On to step 7:
When dividing 470 by 647, we get 0 with a remainder of 470.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11280.0
The remainder is 470 after subtracting 0 from 470.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 470 and repeat the process: 4701 / 647

Step 8:
647 goes into 4701 7 times with a remainder of 172.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 112807.0
If we take 4529 away from 4701, we end up with 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 647 fits into 1720 2 times, leaving a remainder of 426.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 112807.2
If we take 1294 away from 1720, we end up with 426.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 4260 by 647, we get 6 and a remainder of 378.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 112807.26
Subtracting 3882 from 4260 leaves us with 378.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 647 fits into 3780 5 times, leaving a remainder of 545.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 112807.265
Subtract 3235 from 3780 to get 545.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5450, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 5450 by 647, we get 8 with a remainder of 274.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 112807.2658
If we take 5176 away from 5450, we end up with 274.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
2740 divided by 647 is 4 with a remainder of 152.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 112807.26584
Subtracting 2588 from 2740 leaves us with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
647 can be fit into 1520 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 226.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 112807.265842
Subtracting 1294 from 1520 leaves us with 226.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 2260 by 647, we get 3 with a remainder of 319.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 112807.2658423
Deduct 1941 from 2260 and we're left with 319.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
When dividing 3190 by 647, we get 4 with a remainder of 602.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 112807.26584234
If we take 2588 away from 3190, we end up with 602.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6020, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 112807.26584234 with a balance of 6.02e-07.
