Let's divide 16718429 by 72
Our goal is to divide 16718429 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 167 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 167 2 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 144 from 167 to get 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 231 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 15.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 216 from 231 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 158 2 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 232.0
If we subtract 144 from 158, we get 14.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 144 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 goes into 144 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2322.0
Deduct 144 from 144 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 72

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23220.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 72

On to step 8:
72 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 232200.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 290 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 232200.4
Deduct 288 from 290 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
20 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 232200.4
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 232200.402
Deduct 144 from 200 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 232200.4027
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 13:
560 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 232200.40277
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 232200.40277, and the remainder is 5.6e-05.
