278195 divided by 72 
We want to divide 278195 by 72.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 278 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 278 3 times with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 216 from 278, we get 62.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 621 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 621 8 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 576 from 621 leaves us with 45.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 459 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 459 6 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 386.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 432 from 459.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 275 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 275 3 times with a remainder of 59.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3863.0
Deduct 216 from 275 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 590 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3863.8
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 576 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3863.81
If we take 72 away from 140, we end up with 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 9:
When dividing 680 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3863.819
If we subtract 648 from 680, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3863.8194
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
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 11:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3863.81944
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3863.81944, and the remainder is 3.2e-05.
