164612 divided by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 164612 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 164 / 72

Step 3:
164 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 144 from 164 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 206 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 206 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 144 away from 206, we end up with 62.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 621 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 621 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 228.0
Deduct 576 from 621 and we're left with 45.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 452 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
452 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2286.0
Subtract 432 from 452 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 200 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2286.2
Deduct 144 from 200 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2286.27
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing 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: 2286.277
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.

The final result is 2286.277 with a remainder of 0.0056.
