Let's divide 291785 by 72
We want to divide 291785 by 72.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 72

On to step 2:
29 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 291 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 goes into 291 4 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 288 from 291 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 can be fit into 37 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 0 from 37.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 378 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 378 5 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 405.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 360 from 378.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 185 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 185 2 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4052.0
Deduct 144 from 185 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 goes into 410 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4052.5
If we subtract 360 from 410, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 72 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4052.56
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 432 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
680 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4052.569
If we take 648 away from 680, 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4052.5694
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.

Advancing to step 11:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4052.56944
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left 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 final outcome is 4052.56944, with a leftover of 3.2e-05.
