We look at the division of 72898501 by 118 
We want to figure out the number of times 72898501 can be divided by 118.

Let's proceed to step 1:
118 goes into 7 0 times with 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.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 118

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 118, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 72 leaves us with 72.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 728 / 118

Moving on to step 3:
118 can be fit into 728 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 708 from 728 and we're left with 20.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 209 / 118

Step 4:
118 goes into 209 1 times with a remainder of 91.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we subtract 118 from 209, we get 91.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 91, then repeat: 918 / 118

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 118 fits into 918 7 times, leaving a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 617.0
The remainder is 92 after subtracting 826 from 918.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 92 and continue with: 925 / 118

Going ahead to step 6:
118 goes into 925 7 times with a remainder of 99.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6177.0
Subtract 826 from 925 to get 99.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 99 and continue: 990 / 118

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 990 by 118, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61778.0
Subtract 944 from 990 to get 46.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 461 / 118

Let's proceed to step 8:
461 divided by 118 is 3 with a remainder of 107.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 617783.0
If we subtract 354 from 461, we get 107.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1070, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
1070 divided by 118 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 617783.9
Subtract 1062 from 1070 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
118 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 617783.9
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 800 by 118, we get 6 with a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 617783.906
Subtract 708 from 800 to get 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 920 by 118, we get 7 with a remainder of 94.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 617783.9067
Subtracting 826 from 920 leaves us with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 118 fits into 940 7 times, leaving a remainder of 114.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 617783.90677
Deduct 826 from 940 and we're left with 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 617783.90677, with a leftover of 0.000114.
