72452228 ÷ 501 
Our goal is to divide 72452228 by 501.

On to step 1:
501 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in 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.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 501

Advancing to step 2:
501 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 724 / 501

On to step 3:
501 can be fit into 724 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 223.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 501 away from 724, we end up with 223.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 223 and repeat the process: 2235 / 501

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 2235 by 501, we get 4 and a remainder of 231.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 2004 from 2235 and we're left with 231.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 231 and repeat the process: 2312 / 501

On to step 5:
501 goes into 2312 4 times with a remainder of 308.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 144.0
Deduct 2004 from 2312 and we're left with 308.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 308 and continue: 3082 / 501

Advancing to step 6:
501 goes into 3082 6 times with a remainder of 76.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1446.0
If we take 3006 away from 3082, we end up with 76.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 76, then repeat: 762 / 501

Going ahead to step 7:
762 divided by 501 is 1 with a remainder of 261.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14461.0
If we subtract 501 from 762, we get 261.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 261, then repeat: 2618 / 501

Let's proceed to step 8:
501 goes into 2618 5 times with a remainder of 113.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 144615.0
The remainder is 113 after subtracting 2505 from 2618.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1130, and continue the process.

Step 9:
1130 divided by 501 is 2 with a remainder of 128.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 144615.2
Subtracting 1002 from 1130 leaves us with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
501 can be fit into 1280 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 278.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 144615.22
The remainder is 278 after subtracting 1002 from 1280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2780, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 144615.22, with a leftover of 0.278.
