We divide 72864685 by 44
Our goal is to divide 72864685 by 44.

Advancing to step 1:
44 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 44

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 44 from 72, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 288 / 44

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 288 by 44, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 264 from 288 to get 24.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 246 / 44

Step 4:
246 divided by 44 is 5 with a remainder of 26.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 165.0
Subtracting 220 from 246 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 264 / 44

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 264 by 44, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1656.0
Subtract 264 from 264 to get 0.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 6 / 44

Let's proceed to step 6:
44 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16560.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 44

Going ahead to step 7:
44 can be fit into 68 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 165601.0
Subtracting 44 from 68 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 245 / 44

On to step 8:
If we divide 245 by 44, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1656015.0
If we take 220 away from 245, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
250 divided by 44 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1656015.5
Subtracting 220 from 250 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 300 by 44, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1656015.56
Subtracting 264 from 300 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
360 divided by 44 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1656015.568
Subtract 352 from 360 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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1656015.5681
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 44 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 44 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1656015.56818
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 352 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 80 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1656015.568181
Deduct 44 from 80 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
44 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1656015.5681818
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 352 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
80 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1656015.56818181
Deduct 44 from 80 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 1656015.56818181 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
