Let's divide 294250 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 294250 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 294 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
294 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 288 from 294, we get 6.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 62 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 62 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 0 from 62.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 625 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 625 8 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 408.0
If we subtract 576 from 625, we get 49.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 490 / 72

Step 6:
72 can be fit into 490 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4086.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 432 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 580 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4086.8
If we subtract 576 from 580, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4086.8
Deduct 0 from 40 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4086.805
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
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 10:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4086.8055
If we subtract 360 from 400, we 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.

Our division results in 4086.8055 with a remaining 0.0004.
