16779 divided by 72 
We want to divide 16779 by 72.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 16 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 167 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 167 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 144 from 167.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 237 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 237 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 216 from 237 to get 21.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 219 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 219 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 233.0
If we take 216 away from 219, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 30 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 233.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 233.04
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 288 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 233.041
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 72 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 233.0416
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 233.04166
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 233.04166 with a remaining 4.8e-05.
