146138 divided by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 146138.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 146 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 goes into 146 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 144 away from 146, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 21 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 213 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 213 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 202.0
Subtract 144 from 213 to get 69.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 698 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 698 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2029.0
Subtract 648 from 698 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
500 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2029.6
Subtracting 432 from 500 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2029.69
If we subtract 648 from 680, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2029.694
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2029.6944
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2029.6944 and a remainder of 0.00032.
