We divide 72310979 by 983
Our goal is to divide 72310979 by 983.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 983 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 983

Advancing to step 2:
983 goes into 72 0 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 723 / 983

On to step 3:
The number 983 fits into 723 0 times, leaving a remainder of 723.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 723 leaves us with 723.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 723 and continue: 7231 / 983

Going ahead to step 4:
983 goes into 7231 7 times with a remainder of 350.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 6881 from 7231 to get 350.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 350 and continue: 3500 / 983

Going ahead to step 5:
983 can be fit into 3500 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 551.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtract 2949 from 3500 to get 551.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 551 and repeat the process: 5519 / 983

Advancing to step 6:
5519 divided by 983 is 5 with a remainder of 604.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 735.0
Subtracting 4915 from 5519 leaves us with 604.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 604, then carry on: 6047 / 983

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 983 fits into 6047 6 times, leaving a remainder of 149.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7356.0
If we take 5898 away from 6047, we end up with 149.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 149, then repeat: 1499 / 983

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 1499 by 983, we get 1 and a remainder of 516.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73561.0
If we take 983 away from 1499, we end up with 516.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 983 fits into 5160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 245.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 73561.5
If we subtract 4915 from 5160, we get 245.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2450, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 983 fits into 2450 2 times, leaving a remainder of 484.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73561.52
Deduct 1966 from 2450 and we're left with 484.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4840, and continue the process.

Step 11:
4840 divided by 983 is 4 with a remainder of 908.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73561.524
If we take 3932 away from 4840, we end up with 908.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
983 goes into 9080 9 times with a remainder of 233.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73561.5249
If we take 8847 away from 9080, we end up with 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2330, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 2330 by 983, we get 2 with a remainder of 364.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73561.52492
Deduct 1966 from 2330 and we're left with 364.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3640, and continue the process.

Step 14:
983 can be fit into 3640 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 691.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 73561.524923
Subtract 2949 from 3640 to get 691.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6910, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 6910 by 983, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73561.5249237
If we take 6881 away from 6910, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 16:
If we divide 290 by 983, we get 0 and a remainder of 290.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73561.5249237
If we subtract 0 from 290, we get 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2900, and continue the process.

Our division results in 73561.5249237 with a remaining 2.9e-07.
