We divide 254071 by 72
We want to divide 254071 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 72

Step 2:
25 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 254 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
254 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 254, we end up with 38.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 380 / 72

On to step 4:
72 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 360 from 380.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 207 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 207 2 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 352.0
Subtracting 144 from 207 leaves us with 63.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 631 / 72

On to step 6:
72 can be fit into 631 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3528.0
Subtract 576 from 631 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 550 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3528.7
Subtracting 504 from 550 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3528.76
If we subtract 432 from 460, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
280 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3528.763
Deduct 216 from 280 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3528.7638
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3528.76388
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 3528.76388, with a leftover of 6.4e-05.
