We divide 277898 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 277898.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 277 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 277 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 61.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 216 from 277 to get 61.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 618 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
618 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 42.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 576 from 618.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 429 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 429 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 69.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 385.0
Subtracting 360 from 429 leaves us with 69.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 698 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 698 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 50.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3859.0
If we take 648 away from 698, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 500 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3859.6
Subtracting 432 from 500 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3859.69
Deduct 648 from 680 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3859.694
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3859.6944
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3859.6944 and a remainder of 0.00032.
