We're dividing 72792669 by 159 
We want to divide 72792669 by 159.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 159, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 159

Moving on to step 2:
159 goes into 72 0 times 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 (7) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 727 / 159

Advancing to step 3:
The number 159 fits into 727 4 times, leaving a remainder of 91.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 636 from 727, we get 91.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 91, then carry on: 919 / 159

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 919 by 159, we get 5 with a remainder of 124.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 795 from 919 and we're left with 124.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 124, then repeat: 1242 / 159

Let's proceed to step 5:
159 can be fit into 1242 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 129.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 457.0
If we subtract 1113 from 1242, we get 129.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 129, then repeat: 1296 / 159

On to step 6:
1296 divided by 159 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4578.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 1272 from 1296.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 246 / 159

Moving on to step 7:
246 divided by 159 is 1 with a remainder of 87.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45781.0
Subtract 159 from 246 to get 87.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 87 and continue: 879 / 159

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 159 fits into 879 5 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 457815.0
Subtracting 795 from 879 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
159 can be fit into 840 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 457815.5
Subtract 795 from 840 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 450 by 159, we get 2 with a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 457815.52
If we take 318 away from 450, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 159 fits into 1320 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 457815.528
Deduct 1272 from 1320 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 159, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 457815.5283
Subtract 477 from 480 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
159 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 457815.5283
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 159 fits into 300 1 times, leaving a remainder of 141.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 457815.528301
The remainder is 141 after subtracting 159 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 159 fits into 1410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 138.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 457815.5283018
If we take 1272 away from 1410, we end up with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
159 goes into 1380 8 times with a remainder of 108.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 457815.52830188
The remainder is 108 after subtracting 1272 from 1380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Our division results in 457815.52830188 with a remaining 1.08e-07.
