We're dividing 299627 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 299627 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 299 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 299 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 11.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 288 from 299.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 116 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 116 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 44.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we subtract 72 from 116, we get 44.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 442 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 442 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 416.0
Deduct 432 from 442 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 107 / 72

On to step 6:
107 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4161.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 72 from 107.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4161.4
Subtract 288 from 350 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4161.48
If we take 576 away from 620, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
440 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4161.486
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4161.4861
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
72 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4161.48611
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4161.48611 with a balance of 8e-06.
