318291 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 318291 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 318 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
318 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 288 from 318.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 302 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 302 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 288 from 302.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 72

On to step 5:
If we divide 149 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 442.0
If we subtract 144 from 149, we get 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 goes into 51 0 times with a remainder of 51.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4420.0
Deduct 0 from 51 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 510 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4420.7
If we subtract 504 from 510, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4420.7
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
600 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4420.708
Subtract 576 from 600 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4420.7083
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4420.70833
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4420.70833, and the remainder is 2.4e-05.
