We look at the division of 266596 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 266596 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 266 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 can be fit into 266 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 216 from 266.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 505 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 505 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 504 away from 505, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 72

On to step 5:
If we divide 19 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 370.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 196 / 72

Step 6:
If we divide 196 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3702.0
Deduct 144 from 196 and we're left 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 7:
When dividing 520 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3702.7
If we take 504 away from 520, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3702.72
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3702.722
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 3702.722 with a remaining 0.0016.
