We're dividing 233916 by 72 
We want to divide 233916 by 72.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 233 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 233 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 233, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 179 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 144 from 179 to get 35.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 351 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 351 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 63.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 324.0
If we subtract 288 from 351, we get 63.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 636 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 can be fit into 636 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3248.0
If we take 576 away from 636, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 600 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3248.8
Subtracting 576 from 600 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3248.83
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3248.833
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 3248.833 with a remainder of 0.0024.
