We're dividing 72044928 by 523 
Our goal is to divide 72044928 by 523.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 523 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.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 523

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 523, we get 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 (0) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 720 / 523

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 720 by 523, we get 1 with a remainder of 197.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 523 from 720 and we're left with 197.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 197 and repeat the process: 1974 / 523

On to step 4:
The number 523 fits into 1974 3 times, leaving a remainder of 405.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 1569 from 1974 leaves us with 405.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 405 and repeat the process: 4054 / 523

Moving on to step 5:
The number 523 fits into 4054 7 times, leaving a remainder of 393.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 137.0
Subtract 3661 from 4054 to get 393.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 393, then repeat: 3939 / 523

Step 6:
If we divide 3939 by 523, we get 7 and a remainder of 278.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1377.0
If we subtract 3661 from 3939, we get 278.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 278, then carry on: 2782 / 523

On to step 7:
523 goes into 2782 5 times with a remainder of 167.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13775.0
If we take 2615 away from 2782, we end up with 167.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 167 and repeat the process: 1678 / 523

Let's proceed to step 8:
523 can be fit into 1678 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 109.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137753.0
If we subtract 1569 from 1678, we get 109.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1090, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 1090 by 523, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 137753.2
Subtract 1046 from 1090 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 440 by 523, we get 0 with a remainder of 440.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 137753.2
If we take 0 away from 440, we end up with 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 523 fits into 4400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 216.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 137753.208
The remainder is 216 after subtracting 4184 from 4400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 2160 by 523, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 137753.2084
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 2092 from 2160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 680 by 523, we get 1 and a remainder of 157.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 137753.20841
Deduct 523 from 680 and we're left with 157.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 1570 by 523, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 137753.208413
Deduct 1569 from 1570 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 10 by 523, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 137753.208413
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 523 fits into 100 0 times, leaving a remainder of 100.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 137753.208413
If we subtract 0 from 100, we get 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Our division results in 137753.208413 with a remaining 1e-07.
