We're dividing 72254733 by 427 
We're looking to find how many times 427 goes into 72254733.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 427 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 427

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 427, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 722 / 427

On to step 3:
722 divided by 427 is 1 with a remainder of 295.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 427 from 722 to get 295.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 295, then repeat: 2955 / 427

Advancing to step 4:
427 goes into 2955 6 times with a remainder of 393.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 2562 from 2955, we get 393.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 393 and continue: 3934 / 427

Moving on to step 5:
427 can be fit into 3934 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 91.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 169.0
If we take 3843 away from 3934, we end up with 91.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 91, then repeat: 917 / 427

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 427 fits into 917 2 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1692.0
Deduct 854 from 917 and we're left with 63.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 633 / 427

Moving on to step 7:
427 can be fit into 633 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 206.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16921.0
Subtracting 427 from 633 leaves us with 206.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 206 and continue: 2063 / 427

On to step 8:
The number 427 fits into 2063 4 times, leaving a remainder of 355.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 169214.0
Subtracting 1708 from 2063 leaves us with 355.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3550, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 3550 by 427, we get 8 with a remainder of 134.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 169214.8
If we subtract 3416 from 3550, 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.

Step 10:
427 can be fit into 1340 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 169214.83
Subtracting 1281 from 1340 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
427 goes into 590 1 times with a remainder of 163.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 169214.831
Subtract 427 from 590 to get 163.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
427 can be fit into 1630 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 349.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 169214.8313
Subtract 1281 from 1630 to get 349.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
427 goes into 3490 8 times with a remainder of 74.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 169214.83138
Subtract 3416 from 3490 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
740 divided by 427 is 1 with a remainder of 313.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 169214.831381
Subtract 427 from 740 to get 313.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 3130 by 427, we get 7 with a remainder of 141.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 169214.8313817
The remainder is 141 after subtracting 2989 from 3130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
427 can be fit into 1410 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 129.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 169214.83138173
Deduct 1281 from 1410 and we're left with 129.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1290, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 169214.83138173 and a remainder of 1.29e-07.
