Let's divide 72399015 by 251
We want to divide 72399015 by 251.

Step 1:
251 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 251

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 251 fits into 72 0 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 723 / 251

Going ahead to step 3:
723 divided by 251 is 2 with a remainder of 221.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 502 from 723 leaves us with 221.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 221 and continue: 2219 / 251

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 2219 by 251, we get 8 and a remainder of 211.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 211 after subtracting 2008 from 2219.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 211 and continue: 2119 / 251

On to step 5:
If we divide 2119 by 251, we get 8 and a remainder of 111.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 288.0
If we take 2008 away from 2119, we end up with 111.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 111 and continue: 1110 / 251

On to step 6:
251 can be fit into 1110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 106.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2884.0
If we take 1004 away from 1110, we end up with 106.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 106 and continue: 1061 / 251

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 1061 by 251, we get 4 and a remainder of 57.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28844.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 1004 from 1061.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 575 / 251

Advancing to step 8:
251 can be fit into 575 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 288442.0
Deduct 502 from 575 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 730 by 251, we get 2 with a remainder of 228.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 288442.2
Deduct 502 from 730 and we're left with 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
251 goes into 2280 9 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 288442.29
Subtract 2259 from 2280 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 210 by 251, we get 0 with a remainder of 210.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 288442.29
Subtracting 0 from 210 leaves us with 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 2100 by 251, we get 8 and a remainder of 92.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 288442.2908
If we take 2008 away from 2100, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
920 divided by 251 is 3 with a remainder of 167.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 288442.29083
The remainder is 167 after subtracting 753 from 920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
251 can be fit into 1670 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 164.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 288442.290836
If we subtract 1506 from 1670, we get 164.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 1640 by 251, we get 6 with a remainder of 134.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 288442.2908366
If we take 1506 away from 1640, we end up with 134.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

The final result is 288442.2908366 with a remainder of 1.34e-06.
