We divide 1278148 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 1278148.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 127 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 127 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 55.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 127, we end up with 55.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 558 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
558 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 504 from 558 and we're left with 54.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 541 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 541 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 177.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 504 from 541.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 374 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 374 5 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1775.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 360 from 374.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 148 / 72

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 148 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17752.0
If we subtract 144 from 148, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17752.0
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.

Moving on to step 9:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17752.05
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17752.055
If we subtract 360 from 400, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 17752.055 and a remainder of 0.004.
