216568 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 216568 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 21 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 216 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 216 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 216 from 216 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 5 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 56 0 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 300.0
Deduct 0 from 56 and we're left with 56.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 568 / 72

On to step 6:
72 can be fit into 568 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3007.0
Subtract 504 from 568 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3007.8
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3007.88
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3007.88, and the remainder is 0.064.
