Let's divide 24646 by 72
Our goal is to divide 24646 by 72.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
24 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 246 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 246 3 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 216 from 246 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 304 / 72

Step 4:
72 can be fit into 304 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we take 288 away from 304, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 166 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 166 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 342.0
If we subtract 144 from 166, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 220 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 342.3
Deduct 216 from 220 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
40 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 342.3
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 342.305
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left 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 9:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 342.3055
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 342.3055 with a remaining 0.0004.
