We divide 72859262 by 648
We want to divide 72859262 by 648.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 648 is 0 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.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 648

Moving on to step 2:
72 divided by 648 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 728 / 648

Step 3:
648 can be fit into 728 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 648 from 728, we get 80.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 80, then repeat: 805 / 648

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 805 by 648, we get 1 with a remainder of 157.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 648 away from 805, we end up with 157.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 157 and continue: 1579 / 648

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 1579 by 648, we get 2 and a remainder of 283.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 112.0
Subtracting 1296 from 1579 leaves us with 283.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 283 and repeat the process: 2832 / 648

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 2832 by 648, we get 4 with a remainder of 240.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1124.0
Subtracting 2592 from 2832 leaves us with 240.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 240 and continue with: 2406 / 648

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 2406 by 648, we get 3 and a remainder of 462.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11243.0
If we subtract 1944 from 2406, we get 462.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 462 and repeat the process: 4622 / 648

On to step 8:
The number 648 fits into 4622 7 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 112437.0
Deduct 4536 from 4622 and we're left with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 860 by 648, we get 1 with a remainder of 212.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 112437.1
The remainder is 212 after subtracting 648 from 860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 648 fits into 2120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 176.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 112437.13
Subtract 1944 from 2120 to get 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
1760 divided by 648 is 2 with a remainder of 464.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 112437.132
If we take 1296 away from 1760, we end up with 464.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 4640 by 648, we get 7 with a remainder of 104.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 112437.1327
Deduct 4536 from 4640 and we're left with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 1040 by 648, we get 1 with a remainder of 392.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 112437.13271
The remainder is 392 after subtracting 648 from 1040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
648 goes into 3920 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 112437.132716
If we subtract 3888 from 3920, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 15:
648 can be fit into 320 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 320.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 112437.132716
If we subtract 0 from 320, we get 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

Step 16:
648 can be fit into 3200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 608.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 112437.13271604
If we take 2592 away from 3200, we end up with 608.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6080, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 112437.13271604, and the remainder is 6.08e-07.
