Let's divide 72087707 by 497
We want to figure out the number of times 72087707 can be divided by 497.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 497, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 497

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 497, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 720 / 497

On to step 3:
The number 497 fits into 720 1 times, leaving a remainder of 223.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 497 from 720 leaves us with 223.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 223, then repeat: 2238 / 497

Advancing to step 4:
The number 497 fits into 2238 4 times, leaving a remainder of 250.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 1988 from 2238 to get 250.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 250 and continue: 2507 / 497

On to step 5:
497 goes into 2507 5 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 145.0
If we subtract 2485 from 2507, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 497

Advancing to step 6:
497 can be fit into 227 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 227.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1450.0
If we subtract 0 from 227, we get 227.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 227 and continue with: 2270 / 497

On to step 7:
2270 divided by 497 is 4 with a remainder of 282.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14504.0
If we take 1988 away from 2270, we end up with 282.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 282, then carry on: 2827 / 497

Step 8:
The number 497 fits into 2827 5 times, leaving a remainder of 342.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 145045.0
Deduct 2485 from 2827 and we're left with 342.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 3420 by 497, we get 6 and a remainder of 438.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 145045.6
Subtracting 2982 from 3420 leaves us with 438.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4380, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 4380 by 497, we get 8 with a remainder of 404.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 145045.68
Deduct 3976 from 4380 and we're left with 404.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 497 fits into 4040 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 145045.688
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 3976 from 4040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 145045.688 and a remainder of 0.0064.
