Let's divide 286427 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 286427.

Advancing to step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 286 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 286 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 216 from 286.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 704 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 704 9 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 648 from 704.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 562 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 562 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 58.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 397.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 504 from 562.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 587 / 72

On to step 6:
72 can be fit into 587 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3978.0
If we take 576 away from 587, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
110 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3978.1
If we subtract 72 from 110, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
380 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3978.15
Subtracting 360 from 380 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3978.152
If we subtract 144 from 200, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
560 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3978.1527
Subtract 504 from 560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3978.15277
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3978.15277 with a balance of 5.6e-05.
