72698391 divided by 249 
We want to divide 72698391 by 249.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 249 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 249

On to step 2:
72 divided by 249 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 726 / 249

Going ahead to step 3:
726 divided by 249 is 2 with a remainder of 228.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 228 after subtracting 498 from 726.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 228 and continue: 2289 / 249

Let's proceed to step 4:
249 can be fit into 2289 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 2241 from 2289 and we're left with 48.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 488 / 249

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 488 by 249, we get 1 with a remainder of 239.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 291.0
Subtract 249 from 488 to get 239.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 239, then repeat: 2393 / 249

Going ahead to step 6:
249 can be fit into 2393 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 152.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2919.0
If we take 2241 away from 2393, we end up with 152.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 152, then repeat: 1529 / 249

Let's proceed to step 7:
249 can be fit into 1529 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29196.0
Subtracting 1494 from 1529 leaves us with 35.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 351 / 249

Step 8:
If we divide 351 by 249, we get 1 and a remainder of 102.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 291961.0
Deduct 249 from 351 and we're left with 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
249 goes into 1020 4 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 291961.4
If we subtract 996 from 1020, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
249 can be fit into 240 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 240.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 291961.4
The remainder is 240 after subtracting 0 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
2400 divided by 249 is 9 with a remainder of 159.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 291961.409
Subtract 2241 from 2400 to get 159.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 1590 by 249, we get 6 with a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 291961.4096
Subtracting 1494 from 1590 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
249 can be fit into 960 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 213.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 291961.40963
If we subtract 747 from 960, we get 213.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2130, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 2130 by 249, we get 8 and a remainder of 138.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 291961.409638
The remainder is 138 after subtracting 1992 from 2130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 249 fits into 1380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 135.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 291961.4096385
Deduct 1245 from 1380 and we're left with 135.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 249 fits into 1350 5 times, leaving a remainder of 105.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 291961.40963855
Subtracting 1245 from 1350 leaves us with 105.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1050, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 291961.40963855 with a balance of 1.05e-07.
