We divide 72340959 by 406
We're looking to find how many times 406 goes into 72340959.

On to step 1:
406 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 406

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 406, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 723 / 406

Moving on to step 3:
723 divided by 406 is 1 with a remainder of 317.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 406 from 723, we get 317.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 317, then carry on: 3174 / 406

On to step 4:
If we divide 3174 by 406, we get 7 and a remainder of 332.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 2842 from 3174 leaves us with 332.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 332 and continue: 3320 / 406

Let's proceed to step 5:
3320 divided by 406 is 8 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we take 3248 away from 3320, we end up with 72.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 729 / 406

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 406 fits into 729 1 times, leaving a remainder of 323.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1781.0
Deduct 406 from 729 and we're left with 323.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 323, then repeat: 3235 / 406

Step 7:
3235 divided by 406 is 7 with a remainder of 393.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17817.0
If we take 2842 away from 3235, we end up with 393.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 393 and repeat the process: 3939 / 406

Moving on to step 8:
The number 406 fits into 3939 9 times, leaving a remainder of 285.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 178179.0
Deduct 3654 from 3939 and we're left with 285.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2850, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 2850 by 406, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 178179.7
Subtracting 2842 from 2850 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 406 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 178179.7
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
406 goes into 800 1 times with a remainder of 394.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 178179.701
Subtracting 406 from 800 leaves us with 394.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3940, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
406 goes into 3940 9 times with a remainder of 286.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 178179.7019
If we take 3654 away from 3940, we end up with 286.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2860, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 406 fits into 2860 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178179.70197
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 2842 from 2860.
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 14:
406 goes into 180 0 times with a remainder of 180.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178179.70197
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.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 1800 by 406, we get 4 and a remainder of 176.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 178179.7019704
Subtract 1624 from 1800 to get 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 1760 by 406, we get 4 with a remainder of 136.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178179.70197044
Subtracting 1624 from 1760 leaves us with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

The final result is 178179.70197044 with a remainder of 1.36e-07.
