We divide 72047986 by 282
We want to divide 72047986 by 282.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 282, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 282

On to step 2:
282 goes into 72 0 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 720 / 282

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 282 fits into 720 2 times, leaving a remainder of 156.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 564 from 720 leaves us with 156.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 156 and continue with: 1564 / 282

On to step 4:
1564 divided by 282 is 5 with a remainder of 154.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 1410 from 1564 to get 154.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 154 and continue with: 1547 / 282

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 1547 by 282, we get 5 with a remainder of 137.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 255.0
Subtracting 1410 from 1547 leaves us with 137.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 137, then repeat: 1379 / 282

Step 6:
If we divide 1379 by 282, we get 4 and a remainder of 251.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2554.0
If we subtract 1128 from 1379, we get 251.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 251 and continue: 2518 / 282

Let's proceed to step 7:
2518 divided by 282 is 8 with a remainder of 262.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25548.0
Subtract 2256 from 2518 to get 262.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 262, then repeat: 2626 / 282

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 282 fits into 2626 9 times, leaving a remainder of 88.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 255489.0
Subtracting 2538 from 2626 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 282 fits into 880 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 255489.3
If we subtract 846 from 880, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 340 by 282, we get 1 with a remainder of 58.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 255489.31
If we subtract 282 from 340, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 282 fits into 580 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 255489.312
Subtract 564 from 580 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 282 fits into 160 0 times, leaving a remainder of 160.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 255489.312
Subtract 0 from 160 to get 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 1600 by 282, we get 5 with a remainder of 190.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 255489.31205
Subtracting 1410 from 1600 leaves us with 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
1900 divided by 282 is 6 with a remainder of 208.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 255489.312056
If we subtract 1692 from 1900, we get 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
2080 divided by 282 is 7 with a remainder of 106.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 255489.3120567
The remainder is 106 after subtracting 1974 from 2080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 282 fits into 1060 3 times, leaving a remainder of 214.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 255489.31205673
If we take 846 away from 1060, we end up with 214.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 255489.31205673 with a balance of 2.14e-07.
