We divide 198749 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 198749.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 198 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
198 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 144 from 198 and we're left with 54.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 547 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 goes into 547 7 times with a remainder of 43.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 504 from 547 and we're left with 43.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 434 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 434 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 276.0
If we subtract 432 from 434, we get 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
29 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2760.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 290 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2760.4
Subtract 288 from 290 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
20 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2760.4
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2760.402
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2760.4027
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2760.40277
If we subtract 504 from 560, we 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 2760.40277, and the remainder is 5.6e-05.
