We divide 15728 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 15728.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 15, we get 15.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 157 / 72

On to step 3:
When dividing 157 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 13.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 144 from 157.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 132 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 132 1 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 72 from 132, we get 60.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 608 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 goes into 608 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 218.0
Subtract 576 from 608 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 6:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 218.4
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 218.44
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 218.44 with a balance of 0.032.
