72840638 ÷ 469 
Our goal is to divide 72840638 by 469.

On to step 1:
The number 469 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.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 469

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 469, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 72 leaves us with 72.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 728 / 469

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 728 by 469, we get 1 with a remainder of 259.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 469 away from 728, we end up with 259.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 259, then repeat: 2594 / 469

On to step 4:
2594 divided by 469 is 5 with a remainder of 249.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 249 after subtracting 2345 from 2594.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 249 and continue with: 2490 / 469

Moving on to step 5:
2490 divided by 469 is 5 with a remainder of 145.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we take 2345 away from 2490, we end up with 145.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 145 and continue: 1456 / 469

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1456 by 469, we get 3 and a remainder of 49.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1553.0
Subtract 1407 from 1456 to get 49.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 493 / 469

On to step 7:
469 goes into 493 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15531.0
If we take 469 away from 493, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 469

On to step 8:
469 goes into 248 0 times with a remainder of 248.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 155310.0
If we subtract 0 from 248, we get 248.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 469 fits into 2480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 135.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 155310.5
Subtracting 2345 from 2480 leaves us with 135.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
469 goes into 1350 2 times with a remainder of 412.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 155310.52
If we take 938 away from 1350, we end up with 412.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 4120 by 469, we get 8 with a remainder of 368.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 155310.528
Subtract 3752 from 4120 to get 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
469 goes into 3680 7 times with a remainder of 397.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 155310.5287
The remainder is 397 after subtracting 3283 from 3680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3970, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
469 can be fit into 3970 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 218.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 155310.52878
Deduct 3752 from 3970 and we're left with 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 2180 by 469, we get 4 with a remainder of 304.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 155310.528784
If we subtract 1876 from 2180, we get 304.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 3040 by 469, we get 6 with a remainder of 226.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 155310.5287846
If we take 2814 away from 3040, we end up with 226.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 2260 by 469, we get 4 and a remainder of 384.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 155310.52878464
The remainder is 384 after subtracting 1876 from 2260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 155310.52878464 and a remainder of 3.84e-07.
