We look at the division of 179676 by 72 
We want to divide 179676 by 72.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 179 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
179 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 35.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 144 from 179, we get 35.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 356 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 356 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 288 from 356 and we're left with 68.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 687 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
687 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 249.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 648 from 687.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 396 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 396 5 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2495.0
If we subtract 360 from 396, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 360 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2495.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 360 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2495.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 72 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2495.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2495.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
