27551 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 27551 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 275 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 275 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 216 from 275 and we're left with 59.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 595 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 595 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 576 from 595 leaves us with 19.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 191 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 191 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 47.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 382.0
If we take 144 away from 191, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 470 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 382.6
Subtracting 432 from 470 leaves us 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 7:
380 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 382.65
If we take 360 away from 380, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
200 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 382.652
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 382.6527
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 382.65277
Subtract 504 from 560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 382.65277 with a remaining 5.6e-05.
