We're dividing 230583 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 230583 by 72.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 72

Step 2:
23 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 230 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 230 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 216 from 230 and we're left with 14.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 145 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 144 away from 145, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
18 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 320.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 183 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
183 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3202.0
Subtracting 144 from 183 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3202.5
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 360 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3202.54
Subtract 288 from 300 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3202.541
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 72 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3202.5416
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3202.54166
If we subtract 432 from 480, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 3202.54166 with a remainder of 4.8e-05.
