72142205 ÷ 331 
Our goal is to divide 72142205 by 331.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 331 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 331

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 divided by 331 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 721 / 331

Advancing to step 3:
331 can be fit into 721 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 662 from 721 to get 59.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 594 / 331

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 594 by 331, we get 1 with a remainder of 263.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 331 from 594, we get 263.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 263 and continue: 2632 / 331

Step 5:
331 goes into 2632 7 times with a remainder of 315.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217.0
If we take 2317 away from 2632, we end up with 315.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 315 and repeat the process: 3152 / 331

On to step 6:
3152 divided by 331 is 9 with a remainder of 173.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2179.0
If we take 2979 away from 3152, we end up with 173.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 173 and continue with: 1730 / 331

Step 7:
331 can be fit into 1730 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21795.0
Subtracting 1655 from 1730 leaves us with 75.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 75 and repeat the process: 755 / 331

Let's proceed to step 8:
755 divided by 331 is 2 with a remainder of 93.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 217952.0
Subtracting 662 from 755 leaves us with 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
331 can be fit into 930 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 268.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 217952.2
Deduct 662 from 930 and we're left with 268.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2680, and continue the process.

Step 10:
331 can be fit into 2680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217952.28
If we take 2648 away from 2680, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 331, we get 0 with a remainder of 320.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217952.28
The remainder is 320 after subtracting 0 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
331 can be fit into 3200 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 221.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 217952.2809
If we take 2979 away from 3200, we end up with 221.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2210, and continue the process.

Step 13:
331 can be fit into 2210 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 224.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 217952.28096
If we take 1986 away from 2210, we end up with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 2240 by 331, we get 6 with a remainder of 254.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 217952.280966
Deduct 1986 from 2240 and we're left with 254.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 217952.280966, and the remainder is 2.54e-05.
