72729142 divided by 49 
Our goal is to divide 72729142 by 49.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 49 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 49

Advancing to step 2:
49 can be fit into 72 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 49 from 72 and we're left with 23.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 237 / 49

On to step 3:
237 divided by 49 is 4 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 196 from 237, we get 41.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 412 / 49

Step 4:
When dividing 412 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148.0
Subtracting 392 from 412 leaves us with 20.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 209 / 49

Going ahead to step 5:
49 goes into 209 4 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1484.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 196 from 209.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 131 / 49

Step 6:
49 can be fit into 131 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14842.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 98 from 131.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 334 / 49

Advancing to step 7:
49 goes into 334 6 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148426.0
Subtract 294 from 334 to get 40.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 402 / 49

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 402 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1484268.0
If we take 392 away from 402, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 49 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1484268.2
Deduct 98 from 100 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
20 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1484268.2
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
49 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1484268.204
If we subtract 196 from 200, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1484268.204
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 49 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1484268.20408
Subtracting 392 from 400 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
49 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1484268.204081
If we subtract 49 from 80, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 15:
49 can be fit into 310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1484268.2040816
If we take 294 away from 310, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
49 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1484268.20408163
Deduct 147 from 160 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1484268.20408163 with a balance of 1.3e-08.
