Let's divide 215269 by 72
We want to divide 215269 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
72 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 72

On to step 2:
21 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 215 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 215 2 times with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 144 away from 215, we end up with 71.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 712 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 712 9 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 648 from 712 and we're left with 64.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 646 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 goes into 646 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 298.0
If we take 576 away from 646, we end up with 70.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 709 / 72

Step 6:
The number 72 fits into 709 9 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2989.0
Subtracting 648 from 709 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 can be fit into 610 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2989.8
Subtract 576 from 610 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2989.84
Deduct 288 from 340 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2989.847
Subtract 504 from 520 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2989.8472
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2989.84722
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2989.84722, with a leftover of 1.6e-05.
