We're dividing 72877412 by 515 
We're looking to find how many times 515 goes into 72877412.

Let's proceed to step 1:
515 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 515

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 515, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 72 leaves us with 72.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 728 / 515

Advancing to step 3:
The number 515 fits into 728 1 times, leaving a remainder of 213.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 515 from 728 to get 213.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 213, then repeat: 2137 / 515

Let's proceed to step 4:
515 goes into 2137 4 times with a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 2060 away from 2137, we end up with 77.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 77, then carry on: 777 / 515

Advancing to step 5:
The number 515 fits into 777 1 times, leaving a remainder of 262.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 141.0
The remainder is 262 after subtracting 515 from 777.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 262, then repeat: 2624 / 515

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 2624 by 515, we get 5 and a remainder of 49.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1415.0
Subtract 2575 from 2624 to get 49.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 491 / 515

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 491 by 515, we get 0 and a remainder of 491.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14150.0
If we take 0 away from 491, we end up with 491.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 491 and repeat the process: 4912 / 515

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 515 fits into 4912 9 times, leaving a remainder of 277.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 141509.0
If we subtract 4635 from 4912, we get 277.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2770, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
515 can be fit into 2770 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 195.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 141509.5
The remainder is 195 after subtracting 2575 from 2770.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1950, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
515 can be fit into 1950 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 405.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 141509.53
The remainder is 405 after subtracting 1545 from 1950.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4050, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 515 fits into 4050 7 times, leaving a remainder of 445.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 141509.537
If we subtract 3605 from 4050, we get 445.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
515 goes into 4450 8 times with a remainder of 330.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 141509.5378
If we take 4120 away from 4450, we end up with 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 515 fits into 3300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 210.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 141509.53786
The remainder is 210 after subtracting 3090 from 3300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
515 goes into 2100 4 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 141509.537864
Deduct 2060 from 2100 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 15:
515 can be fit into 400 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 400.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 141509.537864
Subtracting 0 from 400 leaves us 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.

On to step 16:
If we divide 4000 by 515, we get 7 and a remainder of 395.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 141509.53786407
Deduct 3605 from 4000 and we're left with 395.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3950, and continue the process.

The final result is 141509.53786407 with a remainder of 3.95e-07.
