72739429 divided by 521 
We want to divide 72739429 by 521.

Moving on to step 1:
521 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
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 521

On to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 521, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 727 / 521

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 727 by 521, we get 1 with a remainder of 206.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 521 away from 727, we end up with 206.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 206, then repeat: 2063 / 521

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 521 fits into 2063 3 times, leaving a remainder of 500.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 1563 from 2063 leaves us with 500.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 500, then repeat: 5009 / 521

Let's proceed to step 5:
5009 divided by 521 is 9 with a remainder of 320.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 139.0
The remainder is 320 after subtracting 4689 from 5009.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 320, then repeat: 3204 / 521

Let's proceed to step 6:
521 can be fit into 3204 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1396.0
Subtract 3126 from 3204 to get 78.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 78, then repeat: 782 / 521

Step 7:
If we divide 782 by 521, we get 1 and a remainder of 261.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13961.0
Subtracting 521 from 782 leaves us with 261.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 261 and continue with: 2619 / 521

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 2619 by 521, we get 5 with a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 139615.0
If we take 2605 away from 2619, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 140 by 521, we get 0 with a remainder of 140.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 139615.0
If we subtract 0 from 140, we get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
521 goes into 1400 2 times with a remainder of 358.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 139615.02
If we subtract 1042 from 1400, we get 358.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3580, and continue the process.

Step 11:
521 goes into 3580 6 times with a remainder of 454.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 139615.026
If we subtract 3126 from 3580, we get 454.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 521 fits into 4540 8 times, leaving a remainder of 372.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 139615.0268
If we take 4168 away from 4540, we end up with 372.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3720, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 3720 by 521, we get 7 and a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139615.02687
If we take 3647 away from 3720, we end up with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Step 14:
521 goes into 730 1 times with a remainder of 209.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 139615.026871
Subtract 521 from 730 to get 209.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2090, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
521 can be fit into 2090 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139615.0268714
If we subtract 2084 from 2090, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
521 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139615.0268714
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 139615.0268714, and the remainder is 6e-08.
