We're dividing 388980 by 72 
We want to divide 388980 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 38, we get 38.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 388 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 388 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 28.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 360 from 388 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 289 / 72

On to step 4:
289 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 288 from 289, we get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 18 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 540.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 180 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5402.0
If we take 144 away from 180, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 goes into 360 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5402.5
If we subtract 360 from 360, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5402.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5402.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5402.5 with a remaining 0.0.
