241492 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 241492 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed 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.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
24 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 241 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 241 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 216 from 241, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 72

On to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 254 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 216 from 254 leaves us with 38.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 389 / 72

Step 5:
72 can be fit into 389 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 335.0
If we take 360 away from 389, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 292 / 72

Step 6:
When dividing 292 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3354.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 288 from 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
40 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3354.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 8:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3354.05
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3354.055
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 3354.055 with a remaining 0.004.
