Let's divide 72971250 by 268
We want to divide 72971250 by 268.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 268 is 0 with 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 / 268

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 268, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 72 leaves us with 72.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 729 / 268

Step 3:
268 goes into 729 2 times with a remainder of 193.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 193 after subtracting 536 from 729.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 193, then repeat: 1937 / 268

On to step 4:
268 can be fit into 1937 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 1876 from 1937 leaves us with 61.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 611 / 268

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 611 by 268, we get 2 and a remainder of 75.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 272.0
Deduct 536 from 611 and we're left with 75.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 752 / 268

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 752 by 268, we get 2 and a remainder of 216.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2722.0
Deduct 536 from 752 and we're left with 216.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 216, then repeat: 2165 / 268

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 2165 by 268, we get 8 with a remainder of 21.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27228.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 2144 from 2165.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 210 / 268

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 268 fits into 210 0 times, leaving a remainder of 210.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 272280.0
If we take 0 away from 210, we end up with 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 2100 by 268, we get 7 with a remainder of 224.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 272280.7
If we subtract 1876 from 2100, we get 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 268 fits into 2240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 96.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 272280.78
If we subtract 2144 from 2240, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 960 by 268, we get 3 and a remainder of 156.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 272280.783
If we take 804 away from 960, we end up with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1560 divided by 268 is 5 with a remainder of 220.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 272280.7835
The remainder is 220 after subtracting 1340 from 1560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 2200 by 268, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 272280.78358
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 2144 from 2200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
268 goes into 560 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 272280.783582
Subtract 536 from 560 to 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.

Step 15:
If we divide 240 by 268, we get 0 and a remainder of 240.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 272280.783582
Deduct 0 from 240 and we're left with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 268 fits into 2400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 256.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 272280.78358208
Subtracting 2144 from 2400 leaves us with 256.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 272280.78358208 with a remaining 2.56e-07.
