We're dividing 72040867 by 149 
We're looking to find how many times 149 goes into 72040867.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 149, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
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 / 149

Advancing to step 2:
72 divided by 149 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 720 / 149

Moving on to step 3:
149 goes into 720 4 times with a remainder of 124.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 596 from 720, we get 124.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 124 and continue: 1244 / 149

Going ahead to step 4:
149 goes into 1244 8 times with a remainder of 52.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 1192 away from 1244, we end up with 52.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 520 / 149

Advancing to step 5:
149 goes into 520 3 times with a remainder of 73.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 483.0
If we take 447 away from 520, we end up with 73.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 738 / 149

Step 6:
149 goes into 738 4 times with a remainder of 142.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4834.0
Subtracting 596 from 738 leaves us with 142.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 142 and repeat the process: 1426 / 149

Step 7:
149 goes into 1426 9 times with a remainder of 85.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48349.0
Subtract 1341 from 1426 to get 85.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 85 and repeat the process: 857 / 149

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 857 by 149, we get 5 and a remainder of 112.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 483495.0
If we subtract 745 from 857, we get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 1120 by 149, we get 7 and a remainder of 77.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 483495.7
If we subtract 1043 from 1120, we get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
149 can be fit into 770 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 483495.75
If we take 745 away from 770, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 11:
250 divided by 149 is 1 with a remainder of 101.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 483495.751
Subtract 149 from 250 to get 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
149 can be fit into 1010 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 116.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 483495.7516
If we take 894 away from 1010, we end up with 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
149 goes into 1160 7 times with a remainder of 117.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 483495.75167
If we subtract 1043 from 1160, we get 117.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
149 goes into 1170 7 times with a remainder of 127.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 483495.751677
Subtract 1043 from 1170 to get 127.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1270, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 483495.751677, with a leftover of 1.27e-05.
