We're dividing 72042921 by 507 
Our goal is to divide 72042921 by 507.

Let's proceed to step 1:
507 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 507

Going ahead to step 2:
507 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 720 / 507

Advancing to step 3:
720 divided by 507 is 1 with a remainder of 213.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 507 away from 720, we end up with 213.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 213, then repeat: 2134 / 507

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 2134 by 507, we get 4 and a remainder of 106.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 2028 from 2134 leaves us with 106.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 106 and continue with: 1062 / 507

Advancing to step 5:
507 goes into 1062 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142.0
If we take 1014 away from 1062, we end up with 48.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 489 / 507

On to step 6:
When dividing 489 by 507, we get 0 with a remainder of 489.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1420.0
Deduct 0 from 489 and we're left with 489.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 489 and repeat the process: 4892 / 507

On to step 7:
When dividing 4892 by 507, we get 9 with a remainder of 329.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14209.0
If we subtract 4563 from 4892, we get 329.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 329 and repeat the process: 3291 / 507

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 3291 by 507, we get 6 with a remainder of 249.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142096.0
Subtracting 3042 from 3291 leaves us with 249.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
507 goes into 2490 4 times with a remainder of 462.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142096.4
The remainder is 462 after subtracting 2028 from 2490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 4620 by 507, we get 9 and a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 142096.49
Subtract 4563 from 4620 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
507 goes into 570 1 times with a remainder of 63.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142096.491
Subtracting 507 from 570 leaves us with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 507 fits into 630 1 times, leaving a remainder of 123.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142096.4911
If we subtract 507 from 630, we get 123.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1230, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 142096.4911, and the remainder is 0.00123.
