We're dividing 72379844 by 231 
Our goal is to divide 72379844 by 231.

Going ahead to step 1:
231 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
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 231

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 231 fits into 72 0 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 723 / 231

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 723 by 231, we get 3 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 693 away from 723, we end up with 30.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 307 / 231

Moving on to step 4:
231 goes into 307 1 times with a remainder of 76.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Deduct 231 from 307 and we're left with 76.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 76 and repeat the process: 769 / 231

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 769 by 231, we get 3 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 313.0
If we take 693 away from 769, we end up with 76.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 76, then repeat: 768 / 231

Step 6:
If we divide 768 by 231, we get 3 and a remainder of 75.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3133.0
Deduct 693 from 768 and we're left with 75.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 75 and repeat the process: 754 / 231

Moving on to step 7:
231 goes into 754 3 times with a remainder of 61.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31333.0
Subtracting 693 from 754 leaves us with 61.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 614 / 231

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 614 by 231, we get 2 and a remainder of 152.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 313332.0
The remainder is 152 after subtracting 462 from 614.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 1520 by 231, we get 6 and a remainder of 134.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 313332.6
Subtract 1386 from 1520 to get 134.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 1340 by 231, we get 5 with a remainder of 185.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 313332.65
The remainder is 185 after subtracting 1155 from 1340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1850, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 231 fits into 1850 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 313332.658
Deduct 1848 from 1850 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
231 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 313332.658
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 231 fits into 200 0 times, leaving a remainder of 200.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 313332.658
Subtracting 0 from 200 leaves us with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 313332.658, with a leftover of 0.0002.
