We're dividing 72261715 by 596 
Our goal is to divide 72261715 by 596.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 596, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 596

Advancing to step 2:
The number 596 fits into 72 0 times, leaving 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.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 722 / 596

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 722 by 596, we get 1 and a remainder of 126.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 596 from 722 leaves us with 126.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 126 and continue with: 1266 / 596

Moving on to step 4:
596 goes into 1266 2 times with a remainder of 74.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 1192 from 1266 to get 74.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 74 and repeat the process: 741 / 596

Step 5:
596 can be fit into 741 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 145.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
The remainder is 145 after subtracting 596 from 741.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 145 and repeat the process: 1457 / 596

Going ahead to step 6:
1457 divided by 596 is 2 with a remainder of 265.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1212.0
Subtract 1192 from 1457 to get 265.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 265, then repeat: 2651 / 596

Step 7:
If we divide 2651 by 596, we get 4 and a remainder of 267.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12124.0
The remainder is 267 after subtracting 2384 from 2651.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 267 and continue with: 2675 / 596

Moving on to step 8:
The number 596 fits into 2675 4 times, leaving a remainder of 291.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 121244.0
If we take 2384 away from 2675, we end up with 291.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2910, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
596 goes into 2910 4 times with a remainder of 526.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121244.4
If we subtract 2384 from 2910, we get 526.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
5260 divided by 596 is 8 with a remainder of 492.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 121244.48
If we take 4768 away from 5260, we end up with 492.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4920, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 596 fits into 4920 8 times, leaving a remainder of 152.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121244.488
The remainder is 152 after subtracting 4768 from 4920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Our division results in 121244.488 with a remaining 0.0152.
