We're dividing 175047 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 175047 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 175 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 175 2 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 144 from 175 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 310 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 can be fit into 310 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 288 away from 310, we end up with 22.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 224 / 72

Step 5:
When dividing 224 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 243.0
Subtract 216 from 224 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 87 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2431.0
If we subtract 72 from 87, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2431.2
Subtracting 144 from 150 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2431.2
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 600 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2431.208
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 576 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2431.2083
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2431.20833
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2431.20833, with a leftover of 2.4e-05.
