We're dividing 299642 by 72 
We want to divide 299642 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
299 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 288 from 299.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 116 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 116 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 44.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtracting 72 from 116 leaves us with 44.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 444 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
444 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 416.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 432 from 444.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 122 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 122 1 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4161.0
Subtract 72 from 122 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
500 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4161.6
If we subtract 432 from 500, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 680 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4161.69
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 648 from 680.
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 9:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4161.694
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4161.6944
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 4161.6944 with a remainder of 0.00032.
