Let's divide 72698557 by 688
We're looking to find how many times 688 goes into 72698557.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 688, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 688

On to step 2:
688 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 726 / 688

Step 3:
688 can be fit into 726 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 688 from 726, we get 38.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 389 / 688

Moving on to step 4:
688 goes into 389 0 times with a remainder of 389.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 389 after subtracting 0 from 389.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 389 and repeat the process: 3898 / 688

On to step 5:
688 goes into 3898 5 times with a remainder of 458.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 105.0
Subtract 3440 from 3898 to get 458.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 458, then repeat: 4585 / 688

Step 6:
The number 688 fits into 4585 6 times, leaving a remainder of 457.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1056.0
The remainder is 457 after subtracting 4128 from 4585.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 457, then repeat: 4575 / 688

Step 7:
688 goes into 4575 6 times with a remainder of 447.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10566.0
Subtract 4128 from 4575 to get 447.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 447, then repeat: 4477 / 688

Step 8:
When dividing 4477 by 688, we get 6 with a remainder of 349.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 105666.0
Subtract 4128 from 4477 to get 349.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
688 goes into 3490 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 105666.5
Subtract 3440 from 3490 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 688 fits into 500 0 times, leaving a remainder of 500.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 105666.5
If we take 0 away from 500, we end up with 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 688 fits into 5000 7 times, leaving a remainder of 184.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 105666.507
If we subtract 4816 from 5000, we get 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 688 fits into 1840 2 times, leaving a remainder of 464.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 105666.5072
Deduct 1376 from 1840 and we're left with 464.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 4640 by 688, we get 6 and a remainder of 512.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 105666.50726
Subtracting 4128 from 4640 leaves us with 512.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5120, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 5120 by 688, we get 7 and a remainder of 304.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 105666.507267
Subtract 4816 from 5120 to get 304.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
3040 divided by 688 is 4 with a remainder of 288.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 105666.5072674
Subtracting 2752 from 3040 leaves us with 288.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2880, and continue the process.

Step 16:
688 can be fit into 2880 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 128.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 105666.50726744
Deduct 2752 from 2880 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 105666.50726744, with a leftover of 1.28e-07.
