Let's divide 72917885 by 478
Our goal is to divide 72917885 by 478.

Moving on to step 1:
478 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 478

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 478, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 729 / 478

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 729 by 478, we get 1 with a remainder of 251.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 478 from 729 leaves us with 251.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 251 and continue: 2511 / 478

Let's proceed to step 4:
478 can be fit into 2511 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 121.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 2390 from 2511 to get 121.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 121, then repeat: 1217 / 478

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 1217 by 478, we get 2 with a remainder of 261.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 152.0
Subtracting 956 from 1217 leaves us with 261.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 261 and repeat the process: 2618 / 478

On to step 6:
478 can be fit into 2618 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 228.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1525.0
The remainder is 228 after subtracting 2390 from 2618.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 228, then carry on: 2288 / 478

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 2288 by 478, we get 4 and a remainder of 376.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15254.0
Deduct 1912 from 2288 and we're left with 376.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 376 and repeat the process: 3765 / 478

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 478 fits into 3765 7 times, leaving a remainder of 419.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 152547.0
If we take 3346 away from 3765, we end up with 419.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4190, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
478 can be fit into 4190 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 366.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 152547.8
Subtract 3824 from 4190 to get 366.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 3660 by 478, we get 7 with a remainder of 314.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 152547.87
Subtract 3346 from 3660 to get 314.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
3140 divided by 478 is 6 with a remainder of 272.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 152547.876
Subtract 2868 from 3140 to get 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
478 goes into 2720 5 times with a remainder of 330.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 152547.8765
The remainder is 330 after subtracting 2390 from 2720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 3300 by 478, we get 6 and a remainder of 432.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 152547.87656
Subtracting 2868 from 3300 leaves us with 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
478 can be fit into 4320 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 152547.876569
Deduct 4302 from 4320 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 180 by 478, we get 0 and a remainder of 180.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 152547.876569
Subtract 0 from 180 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.

Advancing to step 16:
When dividing 1800 by 478, we get 3 with a remainder of 366.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 152547.87656903
Deduct 1434 from 1800 and we're left with 366.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3660, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 152547.87656903 and a remainder of 3.66e-07.
