We're dividing 72671212 by 531 
We want to divide 72671212 by 531.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 531, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 531

On to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 531, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 726 / 531

On to step 3:
531 goes into 726 1 times with a remainder of 195.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 531 from 726 to get 195.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 195 and continue: 1957 / 531

On to step 4:
531 can be fit into 1957 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 364.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 1593 from 1957 and we're left with 364.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 364, then carry on: 3641 / 531

On to step 5:
531 goes into 3641 6 times with a remainder of 455.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 136.0
Subtract 3186 from 3641 to get 455.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 455, then carry on: 4552 / 531

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 4552 by 531, we get 8 with a remainder of 304.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1368.0
The remainder is 304 after subtracting 4248 from 4552.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 304 and repeat the process: 3041 / 531

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 531 fits into 3041 5 times, leaving a remainder of 386.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13685.0
Deduct 2655 from 3041 and we're left with 386.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 386, then repeat: 3862 / 531

Step 8:
If we divide 3862 by 531, we get 7 and a remainder of 145.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 136857.0
Subtract 3717 from 3862 to get 145.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
531 goes into 1450 2 times with a remainder of 388.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 136857.2
Subtracting 1062 from 1450 leaves us with 388.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3880, and continue the process.

Step 10:
531 goes into 3880 7 times with a remainder of 163.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 136857.27
If we take 3717 away from 3880, we end up with 163.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
531 can be fit into 1630 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 136857.273
Subtracting 1593 from 1630 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 370 by 531, we get 0 with a remainder of 370.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 136857.273
Subtracting 0 from 370 leaves us with 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
531 can be fit into 3700 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 514.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 136857.27306
Subtracting 3186 from 3700 leaves us with 514.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
531 can be fit into 5140 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 361.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 136857.273069
Deduct 4779 from 5140 and we're left with 361.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 531 fits into 3610 6 times, leaving a remainder of 424.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 136857.2730696
Subtract 3186 from 3610 to get 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Step 16:
4240 divided by 531 is 7 with a remainder of 523.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 136857.27306967
The remainder is 523 after subtracting 3717 from 4240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5230, and continue the process.

Our division results in 136857.27306967 with a remaining 5.23e-07.
