72793864 ÷ 231 
We want to divide 72793864 by 231.

Step 1:
The number 231 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 231

Moving on to step 2:
72 divided by 231 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 727 / 231

On to step 3:
If we divide 727 by 231, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 693 from 727 and we're left with 34.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 349 / 231

Moving on to step 4:
The number 231 fits into 349 1 times, leaving a remainder of 118.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 231 from 349 to get 118.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 118, then repeat: 1183 / 231

Step 5:
When dividing 1183 by 231, we get 5 with a remainder of 28.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 315.0
Subtracting 1155 from 1183 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 288 / 231

Going ahead to step 6:
288 divided by 231 is 1 with a remainder of 57.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3151.0
Subtracting 231 from 288 leaves us with 57.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 576 / 231

Step 7:
When dividing 576 by 231, we get 2 with a remainder of 114.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 31512.0
If we take 462 away from 576, we end up with 114.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 114, then repeat: 1144 / 231

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 1144 by 231, we get 4 and a remainder of 220.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 315124.0
If we subtract 924 from 1144, we get 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 2200 by 231, we get 9 with a remainder of 121.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 315124.9
Subtract 2079 from 2200 to get 121.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1210, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 1210 by 231, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 315124.95
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 1155 from 1210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 550 by 231, we get 2 with a remainder of 88.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 315124.952
If we subtract 462 from 550, we get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
231 can be fit into 880 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 187.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 315124.9523
Subtract 693 from 880 to get 187.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1870, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 231 fits into 1870 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 315124.95238
Deduct 1848 from 1870 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 231 fits into 220 0 times, leaving a remainder of 220.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 315124.95238
If we subtract 0 from 220, we get 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
2200 divided by 231 is 9 with a remainder of 121.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 315124.9523809
The remainder is 121 after subtracting 2079 from 2200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
231 goes into 1210 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 315124.95238095
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 1155 from 1210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 315124.95238095, and the remainder is 5.5e-08.
