We divide 143274 by 72
We want to divide 143274 by 72.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
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:
When dividing 14 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 143 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 can be fit into 143 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 143, we end up with 71.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 712 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 goes into 712 9 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 648 from 712 leaves us with 64.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 647 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 647 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 71.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 198.0
Subtracting 576 from 647 leaves us with 71.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 714 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 714 9 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1989.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 648 from 714.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 660 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1989.9
Deduct 648 from 660 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1989.91
Subtract 72 from 120 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1989.916
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1989.9166
If we subtract 432 from 480, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1989.9166 and a remainder of 0.00048.
