Let's divide 392996 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 392996 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
72 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 39 0 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 39, we end up with 39.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 392 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 goes into 392 5 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 360 away from 392, we end up with 32.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 329 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 can be fit into 329 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 288 from 329 to get 41.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 419 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 419 5 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 545.0
If we take 360 away from 419, we end up with 59.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 596 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 596 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5458.0
Subtracting 576 from 596 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
200 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5458.2
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 144 from 200.
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 8:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5458.27
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5458.277
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 5458.277 with a remaining 0.0056.
