We're dividing 72698554 by 227 
We want to divide 72698554 by 227.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 227 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 227

Step 2:
227 goes into 72 0 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 726 / 227

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 726 by 227, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 681 from 726, we get 45.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 459 / 227

On to step 4:
459 divided by 227 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 454 from 459 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 227

Moving on to step 5:
227 goes into 58 0 times with a remainder of 58.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 320.0
If we take 0 away from 58, we end up with 58.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 585 / 227

Let's proceed to step 6:
227 goes into 585 2 times with a remainder of 131.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3202.0
If we take 454 away from 585, we end up with 131.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 131 and continue with: 1315 / 227

On to step 7:
227 goes into 1315 5 times with a remainder of 180.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32025.0
Subtracting 1135 from 1315 leaves us with 180.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 180, then repeat: 1804 / 227

Step 8:
If we divide 1804 by 227, we get 7 and a remainder of 215.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 320257.0
If we subtract 1589 from 1804, we get 215.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 2150 by 227, we get 9 with a remainder of 107.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 320257.9
The remainder is 107 after subtracting 2043 from 2150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1070, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 1070 by 227, we get 4 and a remainder of 162.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 320257.94
The remainder is 162 after subtracting 908 from 1070.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1620, and continue the process.

Step 11:
227 goes into 1620 7 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 320257.947
If we subtract 1589 from 1620, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 227 fits into 310 1 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 320257.9471
If we subtract 227 from 310, we get 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
227 goes into 830 3 times with a remainder of 149.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 320257.94713
If we subtract 681 from 830, we get 149.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
227 goes into 1490 6 times with a remainder of 128.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 320257.947136
Deduct 1362 from 1490 and we're left with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Step 15:
227 can be fit into 1280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 145.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 320257.9471365
Deduct 1135 from 1280 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.

Let's proceed to step 16:
If we divide 1450 by 227, we get 6 and a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 320257.94713656
Subtracting 1362 from 1450 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 320257.94713656, and the remainder is 8.8e-08.
