We divide 72236491 by 342
We want to figure out the number of times 72236491 can be divided by 342.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 342 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 342

Moving on to step 2:
342 goes into 72 0 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 722 / 342

Moving on to step 3:
342 goes into 722 2 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 684 from 722 leaves us with 38.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 383 / 342

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 383 by 342, we get 1 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 342 from 383 and we're left with 41.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 416 / 342

Step 5:
When dividing 416 by 342, we get 1 with a remainder of 74.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 211.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 342 from 416.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 74 and repeat the process: 744 / 342

Moving on to step 6:
744 divided by 342 is 2 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2112.0
Deduct 684 from 744 and we're left with 60.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 609 / 342

Step 7:
When dividing 609 by 342, we get 1 with a remainder of 267.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21121.0
If we subtract 342 from 609, we get 267.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 267 and continue with: 2671 / 342

On to step 8:
342 can be fit into 2671 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 277.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 211217.0
If we take 2394 away from 2671, we end up with 277.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2770, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
342 goes into 2770 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 211217.8
Subtract 2736 from 2770 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 342 fits into 340 0 times, leaving a remainder of 340.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 211217.8
The remainder is 340 after subtracting 0 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 342 fits into 3400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 322.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 211217.809
Subtracting 3078 from 3400 leaves us with 322.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 3220 by 342, we get 9 with a remainder of 142.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 211217.8099
If we subtract 3078 from 3220, we get 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 211217.8099 with a balance of 0.00142.
