Let's divide 304816 by 72
Our goal is to divide 304816 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 304 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 304 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 288 from 304.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 168 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 144 from 168 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 241 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 241 3 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 423.0
Subtracting 216 from 241 leaves us with 25.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 256 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 256 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4233.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 216 from 256.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4233.5
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4233.55
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4233.55, with a leftover of 0.04.
