257653 divided by 72 
We want to divide 257653 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 25 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 257 3 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 257, we end up with 41.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 416 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 416 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 56.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 360 from 416 and we're left with 56.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 565 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 565 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 357.0
Deduct 504 from 565 and we're left with 61.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 613 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 613 8 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3578.0
Subtracting 576 from 613 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
370 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3578.5
Deduct 360 from 370 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3578.51
Subtracting 72 from 100 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3578.513
Subtracting 216 from 280 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 640 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3578.5138
If we take 576 away from 640, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3578.51388
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3578.51388, with a leftover of 6.4e-05.
