We look at the division of 72589718 by 249 
We want to figure out the number of times 72589718 can be divided by 249.

Going ahead to step 1:
249 goes into 7 0 times with 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.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 249

Let's proceed to step 2:
249 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 725 / 249

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 249 fits into 725 2 times, leaving a remainder of 227.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 498 from 725, we get 227.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 227, then carry on: 2278 / 249

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 249 fits into 2278 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 2241 from 2278 leaves us with 37.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 379 / 249

Step 5:
249 can be fit into 379 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 130.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 291.0
Subtract 249 from 379 to get 130.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 130 and repeat the process: 1307 / 249

Let's proceed to step 6:
1307 divided by 249 is 5 with a remainder of 62.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2915.0
Deduct 1245 from 1307 and we're left with 62.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 621 / 249

Advancing to step 7:
621 divided by 249 is 2 with a remainder of 123.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29152.0
Deduct 498 from 621 and we're left with 123.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 123, then carry on: 1238 / 249

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 1238 by 249, we get 4 and a remainder of 242.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 291524.0
If we subtract 996 from 1238, we get 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
2420 divided by 249 is 9 with a remainder of 179.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 291524.9
If we take 2241 away from 2420, we end up with 179.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1790, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 249 fits into 1790 7 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 291524.97
If we take 1743 away from 1790, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 470 by 249, we get 1 and a remainder of 221.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 291524.971
If we subtract 249 from 470, we get 221.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2210, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 249 fits into 2210 8 times, leaving a remainder of 218.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 291524.9718
The remainder is 218 after subtracting 1992 from 2210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 249 fits into 2180 8 times, leaving a remainder of 188.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 291524.97188
If we take 1992 away from 2180, we end up with 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 291524.97188, and the remainder is 0.000188.
