We divide 165436 by 72
Our goal is to divide 165436 by 72.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 165 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 165 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 144 from 165, we get 21.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 214 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 can be fit into 214 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 144 from 214 leaves us with 70.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 703 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 703 9 times with a remainder of 55.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 229.0
If we subtract 648 from 703, we get 55.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 556 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 556 7 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2297.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 504 from 556.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2297.7
Subtracting 504 from 520 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2297.72
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2297.722
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
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 2297.722, and the remainder is 0.0016.
