We divide 153601 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 153601.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 153 / 72

Step 3:
153 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 144 from 153 to get 9.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 96 / 72

On to step 4:
72 goes into 96 1 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 72 from 96, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 240 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 213.0
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 241 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 241 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 25.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2133.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 216 from 241.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 250 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2133.3
Subtract 216 from 250 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2133.34
Deduct 288 from 340 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2133.347
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 504 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2133.3472
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2133.34722
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2133.34722 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
