72973970 divided by 701 
We want to divide 72973970 by 701.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 701, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 701

Going ahead to step 2:
701 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
Subtracting 0 from 72 leaves us with 72.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 729 / 701

Advancing to step 3:
701 can be fit into 729 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 701 from 729 leaves us with 28.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 287 / 701

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 287 by 701, we get 0 with a remainder of 287.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 287, we end up with 287.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 287, then repeat: 2873 / 701

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 2873 by 701, we get 4 with a remainder of 69.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 104.0
Subtracting 2804 from 2873 leaves us with 69.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 699 / 701

Going ahead to step 6:
701 can be fit into 699 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 699.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1040.0
Subtract 0 from 699 to get 699.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 699, then repeat: 6997 / 701

Advancing to step 7:
6997 divided by 701 is 9 with a remainder of 688.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10409.0
Subtracting 6309 from 6997 leaves us with 688.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 688, then repeat: 6880 / 701

Advancing to step 8:
701 can be fit into 6880 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 571.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 104099.0
Deduct 6309 from 6880 and we're left with 571.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 701 fits into 5710 8 times, leaving a remainder of 102.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 104099.8
Deduct 5608 from 5710 and we're left with 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 1020 by 701, we get 1 and a remainder of 319.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 104099.81
Deduct 701 from 1020 and we're left with 319.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3190, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
3190 divided by 701 is 4 with a remainder of 386.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 104099.814
If we take 2804 away from 3190, we end up with 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 3860 by 701, we get 5 with a remainder of 355.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 104099.8145
If we take 3505 away from 3860, we end up with 355.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 3550 by 701, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 104099.81455
Subtract 3505 from 3550 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.

After the division, we end up with 104099.81455 and a remainder of 4.5e-05.
