72240687 divided by 517 
Our goal is to divide 72240687 by 517.

On to step 1:
517 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
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 / 517

Going ahead to step 2:
517 goes into 72 0 times with 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.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 722 / 517

Advancing to step 3:
The number 517 fits into 722 1 times, leaving a remainder of 205.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 517 from 722 to get 205.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 205, then carry on: 2054 / 517

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 2054 by 517, we get 3 with a remainder of 503.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 1551 from 2054 and we're left with 503.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 503, then carry on: 5030 / 517

Advancing to step 5:
5030 divided by 517 is 9 with a remainder of 377.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 139.0
The remainder is 377 after subtracting 4653 from 5030.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 377, then repeat: 3776 / 517

Step 6:
The number 517 fits into 3776 7 times, leaving a remainder of 157.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1397.0
If we take 3619 away from 3776, we end up with 157.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 157 and repeat the process: 1578 / 517

Going ahead to step 7:
517 can be fit into 1578 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13973.0
Subtract 1551 from 1578 to get 27.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 277 / 517

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 277 by 517, we get 0 and a remainder of 277.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139730.0
If we take 0 away from 277, we end up with 277.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2770, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 517 fits into 2770 5 times, leaving a remainder of 185.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 139730.5
The remainder is 185 after subtracting 2585 from 2770.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1850, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
517 can be fit into 1850 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 299.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 139730.53
If we subtract 1551 from 1850, we get 299.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2990, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
517 can be fit into 2990 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 405.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139730.535
Subtract 2585 from 2990 to get 405.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4050, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 4050 by 517, we get 7 with a remainder of 431.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139730.5357
If we take 3619 away from 4050, we end up with 431.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 4310 by 517, we get 8 and a remainder of 174.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139730.53578
Deduct 4136 from 4310 and we're left with 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1740, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 1740 by 517, we get 3 with a remainder of 189.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 139730.535783
If we take 1551 away from 1740, we end up with 189.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1890, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 517 fits into 1890 3 times, leaving a remainder of 339.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 139730.5357833
Subtract 1551 from 1890 to get 339.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3390, and continue the process.

The final result is 139730.5357833 with a remainder of 3.39e-06.
