Let's divide 27238386 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 27238386.

Let's proceed 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
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
27 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 272 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 can be fit into 272 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 216 from 272, we get 56.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 563 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 563 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 504 from 563.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 598 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 598 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 378.0
Deduct 576 from 598 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 223 / 72

Step 6:
When dividing 223 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3783.0
Subtract 216 from 223 to get 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 72

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37831.0
If we take 72 away from 78, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 66 / 72

Moving on to step 8:
72 can be fit into 66 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 378310.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 0 from 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 660 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 378310.9
Subtracting 648 from 660 leaves us with 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 10:
If we divide 120 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 378310.91
Deduct 72 from 120 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 378310.916
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 378310.9166
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 378310.9166 with a balance of 0.00048.
