Let's divide 225731 by 72
Our goal is to divide 225731 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 225 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 225 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 216 from 225 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 72 from 97 leaves us with 25.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 253 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 253 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 313.0
Deduct 216 from 253 and we're left with 37.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 371 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 371 5 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3135.0
If we take 360 away from 371, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3135.1
Deduct 72 from 110 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3135.15
If we subtract 360 from 380, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3135.152
Subtracting 144 from 200 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3135.1527
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3135.15277
If we take 504 away from 560, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final result is 3135.15277 with a remainder of 5.6e-05.
