We're dividing 72985881 by 998 
We want to figure out the number of times 72985881 can be divided by 998.

Advancing to step 1:
998 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
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 / 998

Going ahead to step 2:
998 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 729 / 998

Moving on to step 3:
729 divided by 998 is 0 with a remainder of 729.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 729 after subtracting 0 from 729.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 729 and continue with: 7298 / 998

On to step 4:
998 can be fit into 7298 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 312.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 6986 from 7298 to get 312.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 312, then carry on: 3125 / 998

Step 5:
3125 divided by 998 is 3 with a remainder of 131.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 73.0
Deduct 2994 from 3125 and we're left with 131.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 131 and continue with: 1318 / 998

Let's proceed to step 6:
998 goes into 1318 1 times with a remainder of 320.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 731.0
The remainder is 320 after subtracting 998 from 1318.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 320, then carry on: 3208 / 998

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 3208 by 998, we get 3 and a remainder of 214.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7313.0
If we subtract 2994 from 3208, we get 214.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 214 and continue with: 2141 / 998

Advancing to step 8:
998 goes into 2141 2 times with a remainder of 145.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73132.0
Subtracting 1996 from 2141 leaves us with 145.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1450, and continue the process.

Step 9:
1450 divided by 998 is 1 with a remainder of 452.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 73132.1
If we subtract 998 from 1450, we get 452.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 998 fits into 4520 4 times, leaving a remainder of 528.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73132.14
Subtract 3992 from 4520 to get 528.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 998 fits into 5280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 290.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73132.145
The remainder is 290 after subtracting 4990 from 5280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2900, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 2900 by 998, we get 2 and a remainder of 904.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73132.1452
Subtracting 1996 from 2900 leaves us with 904.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 9040 by 998, we get 9 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 73132.14529
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 8982 from 9040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 580 by 998, we get 0 and a remainder of 580.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73132.14529
Subtract 0 from 580 to get 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5800, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
998 goes into 5800 5 times with a remainder of 810.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 73132.1452905
If we take 4990 away from 5800, we end up with 810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8100, and continue the process.

Step 16:
998 goes into 8100 8 times with a remainder of 116.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73132.14529058
If we take 7984 away from 8100, we end up with 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 73132.14529058 with a remaining 1.16e-07.
