We look at the division of 14704 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 14704 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 147 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 147 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 144 from 147 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 72

On to step 4:
30 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 304 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 304 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 204.0
Subtracting 288 from 304 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 204.2
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 204.22
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 204.22 with a balance of 0.016.
