166896 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 166896 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 166 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 144 from 166 to get 22.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 228 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 228 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 216 from 228 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 129 1 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 231.0
Subtract 72 from 129 to get 57.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 576 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 576 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2318.0
Deduct 576 from 576 and we're left with 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 7:
When dividing 0 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2318.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2318.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 2318.0 with a remaining 0.0.
