We're dividing 72918845 by 283 
We're looking to find how many times 283 goes into 72918845.

On to step 1:
283 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 283

Advancing to step 2:
The number 283 fits into 72 0 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 729 / 283

On to step 3:
The number 283 fits into 729 2 times, leaving a remainder of 163.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 566 from 729 and we're left with 163.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 163, then repeat: 1631 / 283

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 1631 by 283, we get 5 and a remainder of 216.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 216 after subtracting 1415 from 1631.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 216 and repeat the process: 2168 / 283

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 2168 by 283, we get 7 and a remainder of 187.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 257.0
If we subtract 1981 from 2168, we get 187.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 187 and continue: 1878 / 283

Moving on to step 6:
283 can be fit into 1878 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 180.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2576.0
Subtract 1698 from 1878 to get 180.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 180, then carry on: 1804 / 283

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 1804 by 283, we get 6 with a remainder of 106.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25766.0
Subtracting 1698 from 1804 leaves us with 106.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 106, then carry on: 1065 / 283

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 1065 by 283, we get 3 with a remainder of 216.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 257663.0
If we take 849 away from 1065, we end up with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 2160 by 283, we get 7 with a remainder of 179.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 257663.7
The remainder is 179 after subtracting 1981 from 2160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 1790 by 283, we get 6 with a remainder of 92.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 257663.76
Subtract 1698 from 1790 to get 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 283 fits into 920 3 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 257663.763
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 849 from 920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 710 by 283, we get 2 and a remainder of 144.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 257663.7632
If we take 566 away from 710, we end up with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Step 13:
283 goes into 1440 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 257663.76325
If we subtract 1415 from 1440, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
250 divided by 283 is 0 with a remainder of 250.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 257663.76325
Subtract 0 from 250 to get 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
2500 divided by 283 is 8 with a remainder of 236.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 257663.7632508
The remainder is 236 after subtracting 2264 from 2500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

Step 16:
2360 divided by 283 is 8 with a remainder of 96.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 257663.76325088
Subtract 2264 from 2360 to get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Our division results in 257663.76325088 with a remaining 9.6e-08.
