72279777 divided by 524 
We want to figure out the number of times 72279777 can be divided by 524.

Going ahead to step 1:
524 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 524

On to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 524, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 722 / 524

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 524 fits into 722 1 times, leaving a remainder of 198.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 524 from 722 leaves us with 198.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 198 and continue: 1987 / 524

Step 4:
When dividing 1987 by 524, we get 3 with a remainder of 415.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 1572 away from 1987, we end up with 415.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 415 and continue: 4159 / 524

Advancing to step 5:
524 can be fit into 4159 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 491.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 137.0
If we subtract 3668 from 4159, we get 491.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 491, then carry on: 4917 / 524

On to step 6:
4917 divided by 524 is 9 with a remainder of 201.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1379.0
Subtracting 4716 from 4917 leaves us with 201.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 201 and repeat the process: 2017 / 524

Moving on to step 7:
524 can be fit into 2017 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 445.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13793.0
If we subtract 1572 from 2017, we get 445.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 445 and continue: 4457 / 524

Step 8:
The number 524 fits into 4457 8 times, leaving a remainder of 265.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 137938.0
If we subtract 4192 from 4457, we get 265.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 2650 by 524, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 137938.5
Deduct 2620 from 2650 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 524, we get 0 and a remainder of 300.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 137938.5
Subtracting 0 from 300 leaves us with 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 524 fits into 3000 5 times, leaving a remainder of 380.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 137938.505
Subtracting 2620 from 3000 leaves us with 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 3800 by 524, we get 7 and a remainder of 132.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 137938.5057
Deduct 3668 from 3800 and we're left with 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
1320 divided by 524 is 2 with a remainder of 272.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 137938.50572
If we take 1048 away from 1320, we end up with 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 2720 by 524, we get 5 and a remainder of 100.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137938.505725
Subtracting 2620 from 2720 leaves us with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 524 fits into 1000 1 times, leaving a remainder of 476.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 137938.5057251
If we subtract 524 from 1000, we get 476.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4760, and continue the process.

Step 16:
4760 divided by 524 is 9 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 137938.50572519
If we take 4716 away from 4760, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 137938.50572519 with a remaining 4.4e-08.
