We divide 72612256 by 46
We want to divide 72612256 by 46.

On to step 1:
46 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in 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.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 46

On to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 46 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 266 / 46

On to step 3:
46 goes into 266 5 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 230 from 266 and we're left with 36.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 361 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
361 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157.0
Deduct 322 from 361 and we're left with 39.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 392 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 goes into 392 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1578.0
If we subtract 368 from 392, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
242 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15785.0
If we take 230 away from 242, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 125 / 46

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 125 2 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 157852.0
If we subtract 92 from 125, we get 33.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 336 / 46

On to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 336 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1578527.0
Subtracting 322 from 336 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
46 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1578527.3
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1578527.3
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
46 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1578527.304
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1578527.3043
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 220 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1578527.30434
If we subtract 184 from 220, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1578527.304347
Deduct 322 from 360 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1578527.3043478
Subtract 368 from 380 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 120 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1578527.30434782
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 92 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1578527.30434782, and the remainder is 2.8e-08.
