We're dividing 307214 by 72 
We want to divide 307214 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 30 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
307 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 19.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 288 from 307 to get 19.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 192 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 192 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 144 from 192 leaves us with 48.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 481 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 goes into 481 6 times with a remainder of 49.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 426.0
If we subtract 432 from 481, we get 49.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 494 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 494 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4266.0
Subtracting 432 from 494 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4266.8
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 576 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 goes into 440 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4266.86
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4266.861
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4266.8611
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4266.8611 and a remainder of 8e-05.
