We're dividing 269645 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 269645.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 269 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 can be fit into 269 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 216 from 269 and we're left with 53.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 536 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 536 7 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 504 away from 536, we end up with 32.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 324 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 324 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 374.0
Subtract 288 from 324 to get 36.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 365 / 72

Step 6:
The number 72 fits into 365 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3745.0
Deduct 360 from 365 and we're left with 5.
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:
When dividing 50 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3745.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 500 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 68.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3745.06
Subtract 432 from 500 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3745.069
Subtracting 648 from 680 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3745.0694
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3745.06944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 3745.06944, with a leftover of 3.2e-05.
