We divide 72993708 by 281
Our goal is to divide 72993708 by 281.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 281, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 281

Step 2:
72 divided by 281 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 72 leaves us with 72.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 729 / 281

On to step 3:
If we divide 729 by 281, we get 2 and a remainder of 167.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 562 from 729 and we're left with 167.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 167 and continue with: 1679 / 281

Let's proceed to step 4:
281 goes into 1679 5 times with a remainder of 274.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 1405 away from 1679, we end up with 274.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 274 and continue with: 2743 / 281

Step 5:
281 goes into 2743 9 times with a remainder of 214.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 259.0
Subtract 2529 from 2743 to get 214.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 214, then repeat: 2147 / 281

Let's proceed to step 6:
2147 divided by 281 is 7 with a remainder of 180.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2597.0
Subtract 1967 from 2147 to get 180.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 180 and continue with: 1800 / 281

Advancing to step 7:
1800 divided by 281 is 6 with a remainder of 114.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25976.0
If we subtract 1686 from 1800, we get 114.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 114 and continue: 1148 / 281

Advancing to step 8:
281 goes into 1148 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259764.0
Deduct 1124 from 1148 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
240 divided by 281 is 0 with a remainder of 240.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 259764.0
Subtract 0 from 240 to get 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 281 fits into 2400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 152.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 259764.08
Subtracting 2248 from 2400 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.

Advancing to step 11:
281 goes into 1520 5 times with a remainder of 115.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259764.085
Deduct 1405 from 1520 and we're left with 115.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 1150 by 281, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 259764.0854
If we take 1124 away from 1150, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 260 by 281, we get 0 and a remainder of 260.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259764.0854
If we subtract 0 from 260, we get 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
281 can be fit into 2600 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 259764.085409
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 2529 from 2600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
281 can be fit into 710 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 148.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 259764.0854092
If we take 562 away from 710, we end up with 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 281 fits into 1480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259764.08540925
Subtracting 1405 from 1480 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 259764.08540925, with a leftover of 7.5e-08.
