72640804 ÷ 842 
We want to divide 72640804 by 842.

Step 1:
7 divided by 842 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 842

Going ahead to step 2:
842 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 726 / 842

Step 3:
726 divided by 842 is 0 with a remainder of 726.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 726 leaves us with 726.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 726, then carry on: 7264 / 842

Going ahead to step 4:
842 can be fit into 7264 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 528.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 6736 from 7264 leaves us with 528.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 528 and repeat the process: 5280 / 842

Let's proceed to step 5:
842 goes into 5280 6 times with a remainder of 228.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 86.0
Subtract 5052 from 5280 to get 228.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 228, then repeat: 2288 / 842

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 2288 by 842, we get 2 with a remainder of 604.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 862.0
Deduct 1684 from 2288 and we're left with 604.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 604 and repeat the process: 6040 / 842

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 6040 by 842, we get 7 and a remainder of 146.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8627.0
The remainder is 146 after subtracting 5894 from 6040.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 146 and repeat the process: 1464 / 842

Step 8:
1464 divided by 842 is 1 with a remainder of 622.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 86271.0
If we take 842 away from 1464, we end up with 622.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 842 fits into 6220 7 times, leaving a remainder of 326.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 86271.7
Deduct 5894 from 6220 and we're left with 326.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 3260 by 842, we get 3 and a remainder of 734.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86271.73
If we take 2526 away from 3260, we end up with 734.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 7340 by 842, we get 8 and a remainder of 604.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 86271.738
If we subtract 6736 from 7340, we get 604.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6040, and continue the process.

Step 12:
842 can be fit into 6040 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 146.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 86271.7387
If we take 5894 away from 6040, we end up with 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
1460 divided by 842 is 1 with a remainder of 618.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 86271.73871
Subtract 842 from 1460 to get 618.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 6180 by 842, we get 7 with a remainder of 286.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 86271.738717
If we take 5894 away from 6180, we end up with 286.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2860, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
2860 divided by 842 is 3 with a remainder of 334.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86271.7387173
If we subtract 2526 from 2860, we get 334.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 3340 by 842, we get 3 and a remainder of 814.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 86271.73871733
Deduct 2526 from 3340 and we're left with 814.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 86271.73871733 with a remaining 8.14e-07.
