We divide 272348 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 272348.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 272 / 72

On to step 3:
72 can be fit into 272 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 216 from 272, we get 56.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 563 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 563 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 59.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 504 from 563.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 594 / 72

On to step 5:
72 can be fit into 594 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 378.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 576 from 594.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 188 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3782.0
If we subtract 144 from 188, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 440 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3782.6
If we subtract 432 from 440, we 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 8:
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: 3782.61
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.

Step 9:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3782.611
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.

The quotient of the division is 3782.611, and the remainder is 0.0008.
