We're dividing 72968045 by 409 
We're looking to find how many times 409 goes into 72968045.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 409, we get 0 and 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.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 409

Step 2:
If we divide 72 by 409, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 729 / 409

Advancing to step 3:
729 divided by 409 is 1 with a remainder of 320.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 409 from 729 leaves us with 320.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 320 and repeat the process: 3206 / 409

On to step 4:
If we divide 3206 by 409, we get 7 and a remainder of 343.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 2863 from 3206 and we're left with 343.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 343 and repeat the process: 3438 / 409

Advancing to step 5:
409 can be fit into 3438 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 166.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 178.0
The remainder is 166 after subtracting 3272 from 3438.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 166, then carry on: 1660 / 409

Step 6:
409 goes into 1660 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1784.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 1636 from 1660.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 409

Advancing to step 7:
244 divided by 409 is 0 with a remainder of 244.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17840.0
If we subtract 0 from 244, we get 244.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 244, then carry on: 2445 / 409

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 2445 by 409, we get 5 with a remainder of 400.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 178405.0
Subtract 2045 from 2445 to get 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
4000 divided by 409 is 9 with a remainder of 319.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 178405.9
Subtracting 3681 from 4000 leaves us with 319.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 3190 by 409, we get 7 and a remainder of 327.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 178405.97
Subtracting 2863 from 3190 leaves us with 327.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3270, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
3270 divided by 409 is 7 with a remainder of 407.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 178405.977
Subtract 2863 from 3270 to get 407.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4070, and continue the process.

The final result is 178405.977 with a remainder of 0.0407.
