We look at the division of 72044391 by 879 
We want to figure out the number of times 72044391 can be divided by 879.

Let's proceed to step 1:
879 goes into 7 0 times with 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.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 879

Moving on to step 2:
The number 879 fits into 72 0 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 720 / 879

Moving on to step 3:
879 goes into 720 0 times with a remainder of 720.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 720 after subtracting 0 from 720.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 720, then repeat: 7204 / 879

On to step 4:
If we divide 7204 by 879, we get 8 and a remainder of 172.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 7032 from 7204 to get 172.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 172, then repeat: 1724 / 879

Moving on to step 5:
The number 879 fits into 1724 1 times, leaving a remainder of 845.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 81.0
Subtract 879 from 1724 to get 845.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 845 and continue: 8453 / 879

Advancing to step 6:
8453 divided by 879 is 9 with a remainder of 542.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 819.0
If we subtract 7911 from 8453, we get 542.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 542 and continue: 5429 / 879

Advancing to step 7:
879 goes into 5429 6 times with a remainder of 155.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8196.0
Subtracting 5274 from 5429 leaves us with 155.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 155, then repeat: 1551 / 879

Going ahead to step 8:
1551 divided by 879 is 1 with a remainder of 672.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 81961.0
Subtracting 879 from 1551 leaves us with 672.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 6720 by 879, we get 7 with a remainder of 567.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 81961.7
Subtract 6153 from 6720 to get 567.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5670, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
879 goes into 5670 6 times with a remainder of 396.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 81961.76
Subtracting 5274 from 5670 leaves us with 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
879 can be fit into 3960 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 444.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 81961.764
If we take 3516 away from 3960, we end up with 444.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
879 goes into 4440 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 81961.7645
If we subtract 4395 from 4440, we 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 450 by 879, we get 0 with a remainder of 450.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 81961.7645
If we subtract 0 from 450, we get 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4500, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
879 goes into 4500 5 times with a remainder of 105.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 81961.764505
If we take 4395 away from 4500, we end up 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.

On to step 15:
879 can be fit into 1050 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 171.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 81961.7645051
The remainder is 171 after subtracting 879 from 1050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 1710 by 879, we get 1 and a remainder of 831.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 81961.76450511
Deduct 879 from 1710 and we're left with 831.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8310, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 81961.76450511, and the remainder is 8.31e-07.
