215898 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 215898 by 72.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 72

Advancing to 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.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 215 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 215 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 71.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 144 from 215 to get 71.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 718 / 72

On to step 4:
718 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 648 from 718 to get 70.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 709 / 72

On to step 5:
If we divide 709 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 299.0
Subtract 648 from 709 to get 61.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 618 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 618 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2998.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 576 from 618.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2998.5
Deduct 360 from 420 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 8:
600 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2998.58
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 576 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 240 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2998.583
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2998.5833
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 2998.5833 with a remainder of 0.00024.
