Let's divide 737474 by 72
We want to divide 737474 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 73 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 73 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 17 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 174 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 174 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 102.0
Subtracting 144 from 174 leaves us with 30.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 307 / 72

On to step 5:
72 can be fit into 307 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1024.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 288 from 307.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 194 / 72

Step 6:
If we divide 194 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10242.0
Subtract 144 from 194 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 500 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 68.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10242.6
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.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10242.69
Subtracting 648 from 680 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10242.694
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10242.6944
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
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 10242.6944 with a remaining 0.00032.
