We divide 72974259 by 208
Our goal is to divide 72974259 by 208.

Step 1:
7 divided by 208 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 208

Step 2:
If we divide 72 by 208, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 729 / 208

Step 3:
When dividing 729 by 208, we get 3 with a remainder of 105.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 624 from 729 leaves us with 105.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 105 and continue with: 1057 / 208

On to step 4:
If we divide 1057 by 208, we get 5 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we subtract 1040 from 1057, we get 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 208

Step 5:
The number 208 fits into 174 0 times, leaving a remainder of 174.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 350.0
Subtract 0 from 174 to get 174.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 174 and repeat the process: 1742 / 208

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 1742 by 208, we get 8 with a remainder of 78.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3508.0
Deduct 1664 from 1742 and we're left with 78.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 78 and continue with: 785 / 208

Advancing to step 7:
208 can be fit into 785 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 161.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35083.0
Subtract 624 from 785 to get 161.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 161 and continue with: 1619 / 208

Advancing to step 8:
208 goes into 1619 7 times with a remainder of 163.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 350837.0
Subtracting 1456 from 1619 leaves us with 163.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
208 goes into 1630 7 times with a remainder of 174.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 350837.7
If we subtract 1456 from 1630, we get 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
208 goes into 1740 8 times with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 350837.78
If we subtract 1664 from 1740, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
208 goes into 760 3 times with a remainder of 136.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 350837.783
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 624 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
208 goes into 1360 6 times with a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 350837.7836
Deduct 1248 from 1360 and we're left with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 1120 by 208, we get 5 with a remainder of 80.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 350837.78365
Subtract 1040 from 1120 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
800 divided by 208 is 3 with a remainder of 176.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 350837.783653
Subtract 624 from 800 to get 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
1760 divided by 208 is 8 with a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 350837.7836538
Subtract 1664 from 1760 to get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 960 by 208, we get 4 and a remainder of 128.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 350837.78365384
Deduct 832 from 960 and we're left with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

The final result is 350837.78365384 with a remainder of 1.28e-07.
