Let's divide 168699 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 168699.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
16 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 168 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 144 from 168.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 246 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 246 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 216 from 246 to get 30.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 309 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 309 4 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 234.0
Subtracting 288 from 309 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 can be fit into 219 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2343.0
If we subtract 216 from 219, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2343.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2343.04
Deduct 288 from 300 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2343.041
Deduct 72 from 120 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2343.0416
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2343.04166
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2343.04166 with a remaining 4.8e-05.
