Let's divide 72412872 by 726
Our goal is to divide 72412872 by 726.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 726, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 726

On to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 726, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 724 / 726

Going ahead to step 3:
726 can be fit into 724 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 724.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 724 to get 724.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 724, then carry on: 7241 / 726

Step 4:
726 can be fit into 7241 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 707.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 6534 from 7241 to get 707.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 707, then repeat: 7072 / 726

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 7072 by 726, we get 9 with a remainder of 538.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 99.0
If we take 6534 away from 7072, we end up with 538.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 538 and continue with: 5388 / 726

On to step 6:
The number 726 fits into 5388 7 times, leaving a remainder of 306.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 997.0
Deduct 5082 from 5388 and we're left with 306.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 306, then carry on: 3067 / 726

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 3067 by 726, we get 4 and a remainder of 163.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9974.0
Subtracting 2904 from 3067 leaves us with 163.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 163 and repeat the process: 1632 / 726

On to step 8:
1632 divided by 726 is 2 with a remainder of 180.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 99742.0
Subtract 1452 from 1632 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 1800 by 726, we get 2 with a remainder of 348.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 99742.2
Subtract 1452 from 1800 to get 348.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 726 fits into 3480 4 times, leaving a remainder of 576.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 99742.24
Deduct 2904 from 3480 and we're left with 576.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 726 fits into 5760 7 times, leaving a remainder of 678.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 99742.247
The remainder is 678 after subtracting 5082 from 5760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
726 can be fit into 6780 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 246.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 99742.2479
Subtract 6534 from 6780 to get 246.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 726 fits into 2460 3 times, leaving a remainder of 282.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 99742.24793
Subtract 2178 from 2460 to get 282.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 2820 by 726, we get 3 and a remainder of 642.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 99742.247933
If we subtract 2178 from 2820, we get 642.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6420, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 99742.247933, and the remainder is 6.42e-05.
