187637 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 187637 by 72.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 187 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 187 2 times with a remainder of 43.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 144 from 187, we get 43.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 436 / 72

On to step 4:
436 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtracting 432 from 436 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 43 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
43 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 260.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 0 from 43.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 437 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 437 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2606.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 432 from 437.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
50 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2606.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 500 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2606.06
Deduct 432 from 500 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2606.069
Subtract 648 from 680 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2606.0694
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2606.06944
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2606.06944 and a remainder of 3.2e-05.
