72586662 divided by 142 
We want to divide 72586662 by 142.

Moving on to step 1:
7 divided by 142 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 142

On to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 142, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 725 / 142

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 725 by 142, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 710 from 725, we get 15.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 158 / 142

Let's proceed to step 4:
158 divided by 142 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 142 from 158 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 166 / 142

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 142 fits into 166 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 511.0
Deduct 142 from 166 and we're left with 24.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 246 / 142

Advancing to step 6:
142 goes into 246 1 times with a remainder of 104.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5111.0
Subtract 142 from 246 to get 104.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 104, then carry on: 1046 / 142

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 1046 by 142, we get 7 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51117.0
Deduct 994 from 1046 and we're left with 52.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 522 / 142

Let's proceed to step 8:
142 can be fit into 522 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 511173.0
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 426 from 522.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 960 by 142, we get 6 and a remainder of 108.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 511173.6
If we take 852 away from 960, we end up with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 142 fits into 1080 7 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 511173.67
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 994 from 1080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 142 fits into 860 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 511173.676
Subtract 852 from 860 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 142 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 511173.676
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
142 goes into 800 5 times with a remainder of 90.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 511173.67605
If we take 710 away from 800, 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 14:
142 goes into 900 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 511173.676056
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 852 from 900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 480 by 142, we get 3 with a remainder of 54.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 511173.6760563
Subtract 426 from 480 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 142 fits into 540 3 times, leaving a remainder of 114.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 511173.67605633
Subtract 426 from 540 to get 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 511173.67605633 and a remainder of 1.14e-07.
