We look at the division of 277024 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 277024.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
27 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 277 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 277 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 61.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 216 from 277 to get 61.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 610 / 72

Step 4:
610 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 576 from 610 leaves us with 34.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 342 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
342 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 384.0
Subtracting 288 from 342 leaves us with 54.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 544 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 can be fit into 544 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3847.0
Subtracting 504 from 544 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3847.5
If we subtract 360 from 400, we 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.

Moving 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: 3847.55
If we subtract 360 from 400, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 3847.55 and a remainder of 0.04.
