We divide 39749 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 39749.

Advancing to step 1:
72 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 39 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 39 to get 39.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 397 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 397 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 37.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 360 from 397, we get 37.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 374 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 374 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 360 from 374 to get 14.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 149 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 552.0
If we take 144 away from 149, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 50 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 552.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 552.06
Deduct 432 from 500 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 552.069
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 648 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 552.0694
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 552.06944
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 552.06944 with a remaining 3.2e-05.
