We look at the division of 172282 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 172282 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 72

Step 2:
72 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 72

On to step 3:
When dividing 172 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 144 from 172, we get 28.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 282 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
282 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 216 from 282 to get 66.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 668 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 668 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 239.0
If we subtract 648 from 668, we get 20.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 202 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 can be fit into 202 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2392.0
If we subtract 144 from 202, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 580 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2392.8
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 576 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2392.8
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2392.805
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.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2392.8055
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left 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 result is 2392.8055 with a remainder of 0.0004.
