132591 divided by 72 
We want to divide 132591 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 13 0 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 0 from 13.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 132 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 132 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 60.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 132 leaves us with 60.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 605 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 605 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 576 from 605, we get 29.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 299 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 299 4 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 184.0
Subtract 288 from 299 to get 11.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 111 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 can be fit into 111 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1841.0
Deduct 72 from 111 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1841.5
If we subtract 360 from 390, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1841.54
Subtracting 288 from 300 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1841.541
Subtracting 72 from 120 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1841.5416
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1841.54166
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1841.54166 with a remaining 4.8e-05.
