152140 divided by 72 
We want to divide 152140 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 72

Step 2:
72 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 15, we get 15.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 152 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
152 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 144 from 152 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 72

On to step 4:
72 can be fit into 81 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 72 from 81 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 94 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 goes into 94 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 211.0
Deduct 72 from 94 and we're left with 22.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 220 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 220 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2113.0
If we take 216 away from 220, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2113.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2113.05
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2113.055
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2113.055 with a balance of 0.004.
