We divide 72458830 by 131
Our goal is to divide 72458830 by 131.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 131, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 131

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 131, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 724 / 131

On to step 3:
When dividing 724 by 131, we get 5 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 655 away from 724, we end up with 69.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 695 / 131

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 695 by 131, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 655 from 695 to get 40.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 408 / 131

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 131 fits into 408 3 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 553.0
Subtract 393 from 408 to get 15.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 158 / 131

Moving on to step 6:
158 divided by 131 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5531.0
Subtract 131 from 158 to get 27.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 273 / 131

Going ahead to step 7:
131 goes into 273 2 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55312.0
Subtracting 262 from 273 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 110 / 131

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 110 by 131, we get 0 and a remainder of 110.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 553120.0
If we take 0 away from 110, we end up with 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 1100 by 131, we get 8 and a remainder of 52.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 553120.8
If we take 1048 away from 1100, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
131 can be fit into 520 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 127.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 553120.83
Subtract 393 from 520 to get 127.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
131 can be fit into 1270 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 91.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 553120.839
The remainder is 91 after subtracting 1179 from 1270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 910, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 131 fits into 910 6 times, leaving a remainder of 124.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 553120.8396
Subtracting 786 from 910 leaves us with 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 1240 by 131, we get 9 and a remainder of 61.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 553120.83969
Subtract 1179 from 1240 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
131 goes into 610 4 times with a remainder of 86.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 553120.839694
Deduct 524 from 610 and we're left with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 131 fits into 860 6 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 553120.8396946
If we subtract 786 from 860, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 740 by 131, we get 5 with a remainder of 85.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 553120.83969465
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 655 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 553120.83969465 and a remainder of 8.5e-08.
