We divide 72857059 by 500
Let's see how many times 500 fits into 72857059.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 500, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 500

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 500, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 728 / 500

Advancing to step 3:
728 divided by 500 is 1 with a remainder of 228.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 500 from 728 to get 228.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 228 and continue: 2285 / 500

Step 4:
If we divide 2285 by 500, we get 4 and a remainder of 285.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 2000 from 2285 to get 285.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 285, then carry on: 2857 / 500

Let's proceed to step 5:
2857 divided by 500 is 5 with a remainder of 357.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 145.0
Deduct 2500 from 2857 and we're left with 357.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 357, then repeat: 3570 / 500

Moving on to step 6:
The number 500 fits into 3570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1457.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 3500 from 3570.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 705 / 500

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 705 by 500, we get 1 with a remainder of 205.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14571.0
Subtract 500 from 705 to get 205.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 205, then carry on: 2059 / 500

On to step 8:
500 goes into 2059 4 times with a remainder of 59.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 145714.0
If we subtract 2000 from 2059, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
590 divided by 500 is 1 with a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 145714.1
If we take 500 away from 590, we end up with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
900 divided by 500 is 1 with a remainder of 400.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 145714.11
If we take 500 away from 900, we end up with 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 145714.11 and a remainder of 0.4.
