Let's divide 71977444 by 131
We're looking to find how many times 131 goes into 71977444.

Step 1:
The number 131 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 131

Step 2:
If we divide 71 by 131, we get 0 and a remainder of 71.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 71 to get 71.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 719 / 131

Step 3:
719 divided by 131 is 5 with a remainder of 64.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 655 from 719 to get 64.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 647 / 131

Advancing to step 4:
131 can be fit into 647 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 123.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 524 from 647 and we're left with 123.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 123, then repeat: 1237 / 131

Let's proceed to step 5:
131 goes into 1237 9 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 549.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 1179 from 1237.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 584 / 131

Going ahead to step 6:
584 divided by 131 is 4 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5494.0
Deduct 524 from 584 and we're left with 60.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 604 / 131

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 604 by 131, we get 4 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54944.0
Deduct 524 from 604 and we're left with 80.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 80 and continue with: 804 / 131

Advancing to step 8:
804 divided by 131 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 549446.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 786 from 804.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 131 fits into 180 1 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 549446.1
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 131 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 490 by 131, we get 3 with a remainder of 97.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 549446.13
The remainder is 97 after subtracting 393 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 970, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
131 goes into 970 7 times with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 549446.137
If we take 917 away from 970, we end up with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
131 can be fit into 530 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 549446.1374
Subtract 524 from 530 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
131 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 549446.1374
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 600 by 131, we get 4 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 549446.137404
Deduct 524 from 600 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 760 by 131, we get 5 with a remainder of 105.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 549446.1374045
Subtract 655 from 760 to get 105.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1050, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 131 fits into 1050 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 549446.13740458
Subtracting 1048 from 1050 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 549446.13740458 with a balance of 2e-09.
