Let's divide 276436 by 72
We want to divide 276436 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 276 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 276 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 60.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 216 from 276.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 604 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
604 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 576 from 604 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 283 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 283 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 67.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 383.0
Deduct 216 from 283 and we're left with 67.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 676 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 676 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3839.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 648 from 676.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 64.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3839.3
Subtract 216 from 280 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3839.38
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3839.388
Subtracting 576 from 640 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3839.388 and a remainder of 0.0064.
