Let's divide 256009 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 256009.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
25 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 256 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 256 3 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 256, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 400 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 400 / 72

On to step 5:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 355.0
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 409 / 72

Step 6:
409 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3555.0
Deduct 360 from 409 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 490 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 58.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3555.6
If we take 432 away from 490, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3555.68
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 576 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3555.68
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3555.6805
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3555.68055
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 3555.68055 with a remainder of 4e-05.
