We're dividing 179803 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 179803 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 179 2 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 144 from 179 leaves us with 35.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 358 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 358 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 288 from 358 to get 70.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 700 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 249.0
Deduct 648 from 700 and we're left with 52.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 523 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 can be fit into 523 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2497.0
Subtract 504 from 523 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2497.2
Subtracting 144 from 190 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 460 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2497.26
Subtract 432 from 460 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2497.263
If we subtract 216 from 280, we 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.

Step 10:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2497.2638
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.

Step 11:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2497.26388
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.

After the division, we end up with 2497.26388 and a remainder of 6.4e-05.
