Let's divide 140536 by 72
Our goal is to divide 140536 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 140 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 140 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 68.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 140, we get 68.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 685 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 685 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 648 from 685.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 373 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 373 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 13.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 195.0
Subtracting 360 from 373 leaves us with 13.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 136 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 136 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 64.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1951.0
Subtract 72 from 136 to get 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 7:
When dividing 640 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1951.8
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.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1951.88
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 result is 1951.88 with a remainder of 0.064.
