We look at the division of 72347169 by 462 
Let's see how many times 462 fits into 72347169.

Advancing to step 1:
462 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 462

Step 2:
If we divide 72 by 462, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 723 / 462

On to step 3:
If we divide 723 by 462, we get 1 and a remainder of 261.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 261 after subtracting 462 from 723.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 261 and repeat the process: 2614 / 462

Advancing to step 4:
The number 462 fits into 2614 5 times, leaving a remainder of 304.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 2310 from 2614, we get 304.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 304 and continue: 3047 / 462

Let's proceed to step 5:
462 goes into 3047 6 times with a remainder of 275.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 156.0
Subtracting 2772 from 3047 leaves us with 275.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 275, then repeat: 2751 / 462

Going ahead to step 6:
462 goes into 2751 5 times with a remainder of 441.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1565.0
If we subtract 2310 from 2751, we get 441.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 441 and continue with: 4416 / 462

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 4416 by 462, we get 9 and a remainder of 258.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15659.0
The remainder is 258 after subtracting 4158 from 4416.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 258, then carry on: 2589 / 462

Let's proceed to step 8:
2589 divided by 462 is 5 with a remainder of 279.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 156595.0
Subtracting 2310 from 2589 leaves us with 279.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 2790 by 462, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 156595.6
If we take 2772 away from 2790, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 180 by 462, we get 0 and a remainder of 180.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 156595.6
Deduct 0 from 180 and we're left with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 1800 by 462, we get 3 and a remainder of 414.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 156595.603
If we take 1386 away from 1800, we end up with 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
462 goes into 4140 8 times with a remainder of 444.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 156595.6038
If we take 3696 away from 4140, we end up with 444.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
462 goes into 4440 9 times with a remainder of 282.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 156595.60389
Subtracting 4158 from 4440 leaves us with 282.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 2820 by 462, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 156595.603896
Subtracting 2772 from 2820 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 480 by 462, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 156595.6038961
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 462 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
180 divided by 462 is 0 with a remainder of 180.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 156595.6038961
If we subtract 0 from 180, we get 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Our division results in 156595.6038961 with a remaining 1.8e-07.
