72742209 ÷ 998 
Our goal is to divide 72742209 by 998.

Let's proceed to step 1:
998 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 998

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 998, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 727 / 998

Advancing to step 3:
998 goes into 727 0 times with a remainder of 727.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 727 leaves us with 727.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 727, then repeat: 7274 / 998

Step 4:
998 goes into 7274 7 times with a remainder of 288.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 6986 from 7274 to get 288.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 288 and continue with: 2882 / 998

Advancing to step 5:
The number 998 fits into 2882 2 times, leaving a remainder of 886.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we subtract 1996 from 2882, we get 886.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 886 and continue with: 8862 / 998

Step 6:
8862 divided by 998 is 8 with a remainder of 878.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 728.0
Deduct 7984 from 8862 and we're left with 878.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 878, then repeat: 8780 / 998

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 8780 by 998, we get 8 with a remainder of 796.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7288.0
If we take 7984 away from 8780, we end up with 796.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 796, then repeat: 7969 / 998

Step 8:
If we divide 7969 by 998, we get 7 and a remainder of 983.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72887.0
If we take 6986 away from 7969, we end up with 983.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9830, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
998 can be fit into 9830 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 848.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72887.9
Subtracting 8982 from 9830 leaves us with 848.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
8480 divided by 998 is 8 with a remainder of 496.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72887.98
Subtract 7984 from 8480 to get 496.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4960, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 998 fits into 4960 4 times, leaving a remainder of 968.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72887.984
Deduct 3992 from 4960 and we're left with 968.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9680, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 9680 by 998, we get 9 and a remainder of 698.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72887.9849
Subtracting 8982 from 9680 leaves us with 698.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6980, and continue the process.

Step 13:
6980 divided by 998 is 6 with a remainder of 992.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72887.98496
Subtracting 5988 from 6980 leaves us with 992.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 998 fits into 9920 9 times, leaving a remainder of 938.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72887.984969
Subtract 8982 from 9920 to get 938.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 9380 by 998, we get 9 and a remainder of 398.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72887.9849699
The remainder is 398 after subtracting 8982 from 9380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3980, and continue the process.

The final result is 72887.9849699 with a remainder of 3.98e-06.
