We're dividing 229884 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 229884 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
22 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 229 3 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 216 from 229 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 can be fit into 138 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 72 from 138, we get 66.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 66, then repeat: 668 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 668 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 20.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 319.0
If we subtract 648 from 668, we get 20.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 204 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 204 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3192.0
Subtracting 144 from 204 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 600 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3192.8
Subtracting 576 from 600 leaves us with 24.
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 8:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3192.83
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3192.833
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 quotient of the division is 3192.833, and the remainder is 0.0024.
