Let's divide 243227 by 72
We want to divide 243227 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 243 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 can be fit into 243 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 216 from 243 to get 27.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 272 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 272 3 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 216 from 272.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 562 / 72

Step 5:
72 can be fit into 562 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 337.0
Deduct 504 from 562 and we're left with 58.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 587 / 72

Step 6:
72 can be fit into 587 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3378.0
Subtracting 576 from 587 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3378.1
Subtracting 72 from 110 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3378.15
If we subtract 360 from 380, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3378.152
If we take 144 away from 200, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
560 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3378.1527
If we take 504 away from 560, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
560 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3378.15277
Subtract 504 from 560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3378.15277, and the remainder is 5.6e-05.
