Let's divide 72234008 by 279
We're looking to find how many times 279 goes into 72234008.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 279, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 279

Moving on to step 2:
279 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.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 722 / 279

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 722 by 279, we get 2 and a remainder of 164.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 558 from 722, we get 164.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 164 and repeat the process: 1643 / 279

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 1643 by 279, we get 5 and a remainder of 248.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 1395 from 1643 to get 248.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 248, then repeat: 2484 / 279

Step 5:
279 goes into 2484 8 times with a remainder of 252.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 258.0
If we take 2232 away from 2484, we end up with 252.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 252, then repeat: 2520 / 279

Advancing to step 6:
279 goes into 2520 9 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2589.0
Deduct 2511 from 2520 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 90 / 279

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 279 fits into 90 0 times, leaving a remainder of 90.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25890.0
Subtracting 0 from 90 leaves us with 90.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 90, then repeat: 908 / 279

Going ahead to step 8:
908 divided by 279 is 3 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 258903.0
If we take 837 away from 908, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 710 by 279, we get 2 and a remainder of 152.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 258903.2
If we subtract 558 from 710, we get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 279 fits into 1520 5 times, leaving a remainder of 125.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 258903.25
If we take 1395 away from 1520, we end up with 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Step 11:
279 can be fit into 1250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 134.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 258903.254
The remainder is 134 after subtracting 1116 from 1250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
279 can be fit into 1340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 224.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 258903.2544
Subtract 1116 from 1340 to get 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 258903.2544 with a balance of 0.00224.
