247624 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 247624 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
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 247 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 247 3 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 247, we end up with 31.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 316 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 316 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we take 288 away from 316, we end up with 28.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 282 / 72

On to step 5:
If we divide 282 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 343.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 216 from 282.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 664 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 664 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3439.0
Subtract 648 from 664 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3439.2
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3439.22
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3439.22, and the remainder is 0.016.
