We divide 272817 by 99
We want to divide 272817 by 99.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 99 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 99

Going ahead to step 2:
27 divided by 99 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 272 / 99

On to step 3:
99 goes into 272 2 times with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 198 from 272.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 74 and repeat the process: 748 / 99

Advancing to step 4:
99 can be fit into 748 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 693 from 748, we get 55.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 551 / 99

Advancing to step 5:
The number 99 fits into 551 5 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 275.0
Subtract 495 from 551 to get 56.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 567 / 99

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 567 by 99, we get 5 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2755.0
Deduct 495 from 567 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 720 by 99, we get 7 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2755.7
If we subtract 693 from 720, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
270 divided by 99 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2755.72
Subtracting 198 from 270 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 9:
99 can be fit into 720 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2755.727
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 693 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 99 fits into 270 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2755.7272
Subtracting 198 from 270 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 720 by 99, we get 7 with a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2755.72727
Subtracting 693 from 720 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 12:
270 divided by 99 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2755.727272
Subtract 198 from 270 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 99 fits into 720 7 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2755.7272727
If we subtract 693 from 720, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
99 goes into 270 2 times with a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2755.72727272
If we subtract 198 from 270, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2755.72727272 with a balance of 7.2e-08.
