We divide 146262 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 146262 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 72

Step 2:
If we divide 14 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 146 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
146 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 144 from 146 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 22 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 22, we get 22.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 226 / 72

On to step 5:
226 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 203.0
Deduct 216 from 226 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 102 / 72

Step 6:
When dividing 102 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2031.0
Subtracting 72 from 102 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2031.4
If we subtract 288 from 300, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
120 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2031.41
If we subtract 72 from 120, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2031.416
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2031.4166
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 2031.4166 with a remainder of 0.00048.
