We're dividing 224551 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 224551 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 72

On to step 2:
72 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 224 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 224 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 224, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 85 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 85 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 72 from 85.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 135 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 135 1 times with a remainder of 63.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 311.0
Subtracting 72 from 135 leaves us with 63.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 63 and repeat the process: 631 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 631 8 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3118.0
Subtracting 576 from 631 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 550 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3118.7
Subtracting 504 from 550 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 goes into 460 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3118.76
If we take 432 away from 460, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 64.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3118.763
Subtract 216 from 280 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3118.7638
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3118.76388
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3118.76388 and a remainder of 6.4e-05.
