We look at the division of 72478252 by 977 
We want to figure out the number of times 72478252 can be divided by 977.

Going ahead to step 1:
977 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 977

Advancing to step 2:
The number 977 fits into 72 0 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 724 / 977

Advancing to step 3:
977 goes into 724 0 times with a remainder of 724.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 724 and we're left with 724.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 724 and repeat the process: 7247 / 977

On to step 4:
977 can be fit into 7247 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 408.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 6839 from 7247 to get 408.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 408, then carry on: 4088 / 977

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 4088 by 977, we get 4 with a remainder of 180.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we take 3908 away from 4088, we end up with 180.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 180, then repeat: 1802 / 977

Advancing to step 6:
977 can be fit into 1802 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 825.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 741.0
Subtracting 977 from 1802 leaves us with 825.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 825 and continue with: 8255 / 977

Advancing to step 7:
The number 977 fits into 8255 8 times, leaving a remainder of 439.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7418.0
Subtracting 7816 from 8255 leaves us with 439.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 439 and repeat the process: 4392 / 977

Advancing to step 8:
977 goes into 4392 4 times with a remainder of 484.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74184.0
The remainder is 484 after subtracting 3908 from 4392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
977 can be fit into 4840 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 932.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74184.4
Subtract 3908 from 4840 to get 932.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
9320 divided by 977 is 9 with a remainder of 527.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74184.49
The remainder is 527 after subtracting 8793 from 9320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5270, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 5270 by 977, we get 5 and a remainder of 385.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74184.495
Subtracting 4885 from 5270 leaves us with 385.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3850, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 3850 by 977, we get 3 with a remainder of 919.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74184.4953
Deduct 2931 from 3850 and we're left with 919.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9190, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 977 fits into 9190 9 times, leaving a remainder of 397.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74184.49539
If we subtract 8793 from 9190, we get 397.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3970, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 3970 by 977, we get 4 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 74184.495394
Deduct 3908 from 3970 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 977 fits into 620 0 times, leaving a remainder of 620.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 74184.495394
Subtract 0 from 620 to get 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6200, and continue the process.

Step 16:
If we divide 6200 by 977, we get 6 and a remainder of 338.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74184.49539406
Subtract 5862 from 6200 to get 338.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3380, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 74184.49539406, with a leftover of 3.38e-07.
