We look at the division of 72609142 by 609 
We want to divide 72609142 by 609.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 609, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 609

Going ahead to step 2:
609 goes into 72 0 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 726 / 609

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 609 fits into 726 1 times, leaving a remainder of 117.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 609 from 726 leaves us with 117.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 117, then carry on: 1170 / 609

Let's proceed to step 4:
609 can be fit into 1170 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 561.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 561 after subtracting 609 from 1170.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 561, then repeat: 5619 / 609

Going ahead to step 5:
5619 divided by 609 is 9 with a remainder of 138.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119.0
Subtracting 5481 from 5619 leaves us with 138.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 138, then repeat: 1381 / 609

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 1381 by 609, we get 2 and a remainder of 163.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1192.0
The remainder is 163 after subtracting 1218 from 1381.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 163 and continue: 1634 / 609

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 1634 by 609, we get 2 and a remainder of 416.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11922.0
If we take 1218 away from 1634, we end up with 416.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 416 and repeat the process: 4162 / 609

On to step 8:
609 goes into 4162 6 times with a remainder of 508.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 119226.0
If we take 3654 away from 4162, we end up with 508.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
609 can be fit into 5080 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 208.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 119226.8
The remainder is 208 after subtracting 4872 from 5080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
609 goes into 2080 3 times with a remainder of 253.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119226.83
The remainder is 253 after subtracting 1827 from 2080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2530, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
2530 divided by 609 is 4 with a remainder of 94.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 119226.834
Subtracting 2436 from 2530 leaves us with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 609 fits into 940 1 times, leaving a remainder of 331.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 119226.8341
Subtract 609 from 940 to get 331.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 3310 by 609, we get 5 with a remainder of 265.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 119226.83415
Subtracting 3045 from 3310 leaves us with 265.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 609 fits into 2650 4 times, leaving a remainder of 214.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 119226.834154
Deduct 2436 from 2650 and we're left with 214.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 2140 by 609, we get 3 and a remainder of 313.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 119226.8341543
Subtracting 1827 from 2140 leaves us with 313.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
609 goes into 3130 5 times with a remainder of 85.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 119226.83415435
If we take 3045 away from 3130, we end up with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 119226.83415435, with a leftover of 8.5e-08.
