72251272 divided by 285 
Our goal is to divide 72251272 by 285.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 285 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the 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 / 285

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 285, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 722 / 285

On to step 3:
285 can be fit into 722 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 152.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 570 from 722, we get 152.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 152, then carry on: 1525 / 285

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 1525 by 285, we get 5 with a remainder of 100.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we subtract 1425 from 1525, we get 100.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 100 and continue with: 1001 / 285

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 1001 by 285, we get 3 and a remainder of 146.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 253.0
The remainder is 146 after subtracting 855 from 1001.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 146, then carry on: 1462 / 285

Step 6:
If we divide 1462 by 285, we get 5 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2535.0
Subtracting 1425 from 1462 leaves us with 37.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 377 / 285

Going ahead to step 7:
285 goes into 377 1 times with a remainder of 92.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25351.0
Subtracting 285 from 377 leaves us with 92.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 92, then repeat: 922 / 285

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 922 by 285, we get 3 with a remainder of 67.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 253513.0
If we subtract 855 from 922, we get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 670 by 285, we get 2 with a remainder of 100.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 253513.2
Deduct 570 from 670 and we're left with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 285 fits into 1000 3 times, leaving a remainder of 145.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 253513.23
Deduct 855 from 1000 and we're left with 145.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1450, and continue the process.

Step 11:
285 goes into 1450 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 253513.235
Subtract 1425 from 1450 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 285 fits into 250 0 times, leaving a remainder of 250.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 253513.235
Subtracting 0 from 250 leaves us with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 2500 by 285, we get 8 and a remainder of 220.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 253513.23508
If we take 2280 away from 2500, we end up with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
285 can be fit into 2200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 205.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 253513.235087
The remainder is 205 after subtracting 1995 from 2200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2050, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
The number 285 fits into 2050 7 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 253513.2350877
If we take 1995 away from 2050, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

The final result is 253513.2350877 with a remainder of 5.5e-07.
