Let's divide 72648972 by 988
Our goal is to divide 72648972 by 988.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 988, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 988

Step 2:
If we divide 72 by 988, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 726 / 988

Moving on to step 3:
The number 988 fits into 726 0 times, leaving a remainder of 726.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 726 leaves us with 726.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 726, then carry on: 7264 / 988

Step 4:
The number 988 fits into 7264 7 times, leaving a remainder of 348.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 6916 from 7264 to get 348.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 348, then carry on: 3488 / 988

Moving on to step 5:
3488 divided by 988 is 3 with a remainder of 524.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtracting 2964 from 3488 leaves us with 524.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 524 and continue with: 5249 / 988

Step 6:
988 goes into 5249 5 times with a remainder of 309.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 735.0
The remainder is 309 after subtracting 4940 from 5249.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 309 and continue with: 3097 / 988

On to step 7:
3097 divided by 988 is 3 with a remainder of 133.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7353.0
If we subtract 2964 from 3097, we get 133.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 133, then repeat: 1332 / 988

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 1332 by 988, we get 1 and a remainder of 344.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73531.0
Subtracting 988 from 1332 leaves us with 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 3440 by 988, we get 3 with a remainder of 476.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73531.3
Deduct 2964 from 3440 and we're left with 476.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
988 can be fit into 4760 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 808.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73531.34
If we take 3952 away from 4760, we end up with 808.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 8080 by 988, we get 8 and a remainder of 176.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73531.348
Subtract 7904 from 8080 to get 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 988 fits into 1760 1 times, leaving a remainder of 772.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73531.3481
The remainder is 772 after subtracting 988 from 1760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
988 goes into 7720 7 times with a remainder of 804.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73531.34817
Subtract 6916 from 7720 to get 804.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
988 can be fit into 8040 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 136.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73531.348178
Deduct 7904 from 8040 and we're left with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
1360 divided by 988 is 1 with a remainder of 372.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73531.3481781
Deduct 988 from 1360 and we're left with 372.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
988 goes into 3720 3 times with a remainder of 756.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73531.34817813
The remainder is 756 after subtracting 2964 from 3720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7560, and continue the process.

The final result is 73531.34817813 with a remainder of 7.56e-07.
