264157 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 264157 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 264 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 264 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 216 from 264, we get 48.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 481 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 481 6 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtract 432 from 481 to get 49.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 495 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 495 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 63.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 366.0
Subtract 432 from 495 to get 63.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 63 and repeat the process: 637 / 72

Step 6:
637 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 61.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3668.0
If we take 576 away from 637, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
610 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3668.8
Subtracting 576 from 610 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 340 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3668.84
Subtracting 288 from 340 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 520 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3668.847
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 504 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3668.8472
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3668.84722
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3668.84722, and the remainder is 1.6e-05.
