We look at the division of 72519588 by 342 
Let's see how many times 342 fits into 72519588.

Advancing to step 1:
342 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 342

Going ahead to step 2:
72 divided by 342 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 725 / 342

On to step 3:
342 can be fit into 725 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 684 away from 725, we end up with 41.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 411 / 342

Advancing to step 4:
411 divided by 342 is 1 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 342 from 411 leaves us with 69.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 699 / 342

Advancing to step 5:
342 goes into 699 2 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 212.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 684 from 699.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 155 / 342

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 155 by 342, we get 0 and a remainder of 155.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2120.0
Subtract 0 from 155 to get 155.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 155 and continue with: 1558 / 342

Moving on to step 7:
The number 342 fits into 1558 4 times, leaving a remainder of 190.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21204.0
Deduct 1368 from 1558 and we're left with 190.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 190 and repeat the process: 1908 / 342

On to step 8:
When dividing 1908 by 342, we get 5 with a remainder of 198.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 212045.0
Subtracting 1710 from 1908 leaves us with 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 342 fits into 1980 5 times, leaving a remainder of 270.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 212045.5
Subtract 1710 from 1980 to get 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2700, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 2700 by 342, we get 7 with a remainder of 306.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 212045.57
If we take 2394 away from 2700, we end up with 306.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3060, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
342 goes into 3060 8 times with a remainder of 324.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 212045.578
Deduct 2736 from 3060 and we're left with 324.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 3240 by 342, we get 9 with a remainder of 162.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 212045.5789
The remainder is 162 after subtracting 3078 from 3240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
1620 divided by 342 is 4 with a remainder of 252.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 212045.57894
If we subtract 1368 from 1620, we get 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
342 can be fit into 2520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 126.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 212045.578947
The remainder is 126 after subtracting 2394 from 2520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 1260 by 342, we get 3 with a remainder of 234.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 212045.5789473
If we take 1026 away from 1260, we end up with 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 342 fits into 2340 6 times, leaving a remainder of 288.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 212045.57894736
If we subtract 2052 from 2340, we get 288.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2880, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 212045.57894736 with a balance of 2.88e-07.
