222421 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 222421 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
22 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 222 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
222 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 216 from 222 to get 6.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 72

Step 4:
72 goes into 64 0 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 0 from 64.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 642 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 642 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 308.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 576 from 642.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 661 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 661 9 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3089.0
If we subtract 648 from 661, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
130 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 58.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3089.1
Deduct 72 from 130 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 580 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3089.18
Subtracting 576 from 580 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3089.18
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3089.1805
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3089.18055
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 3089.18055 with a remainder of 4e-05.
