72991407 ÷ 204 
We're looking to find how many times 204 goes into 72991407.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 204, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 204

Step 2:
When dividing 72 by 204, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 729 / 204

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 729 by 204, we get 3 and a remainder of 117.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 612 from 729 and we're left with 117.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 117 and continue: 1179 / 204

On to step 4:
204 goes into 1179 5 times with a remainder of 159.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 1020 from 1179 to get 159.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 159 and repeat the process: 1591 / 204

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 1591 by 204, we get 7 and a remainder of 163.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 357.0
Subtract 1428 from 1591 to get 163.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 163, then carry on: 1634 / 204

On to step 6:
204 can be fit into 1634 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3578.0
Deduct 1632 from 1634 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 204

Advancing to step 7:
204 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 35780.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 207 / 204

On to step 8:
When dividing 207 by 204, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 357801.0
If we take 204 away from 207, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
204 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 357801.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 204 fits into 300 1 times, leaving a remainder of 96.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 357801.01
Subtracting 204 from 300 leaves us with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Step 11:
960 divided by 204 is 4 with a remainder of 144.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 357801.014
Subtract 816 from 960 to get 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
204 goes into 1440 7 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 357801.0147
Subtract 1428 from 1440 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 120 by 204, we get 0 with a remainder of 120.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 357801.0147
If we subtract 0 from 120, we get 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 1200 by 204, we get 5 with a remainder of 180.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 357801.014705
Deduct 1020 from 1200 and we're left with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 1800 by 204, we get 8 and a remainder of 168.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 357801.0147058
The remainder is 168 after subtracting 1632 from 1800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Step 16:
204 can be fit into 1680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 357801.01470588
Subtract 1632 from 1680 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 357801.01470588, and the remainder is 4.8e-08.
