248729 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 248729 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 248 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 248 3 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 216 from 248.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 327 / 72

Step 4:
72 goes into 327 4 times with a remainder of 39.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 288 from 327.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 392 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
392 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 32.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 345.0
Deduct 360 from 392 and we're left with 32.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 329 / 72

Step 6:
The number 72 fits into 329 4 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3454.0
If we subtract 288 from 329, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 410 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3454.5
If we subtract 360 from 410, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
500 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3454.56
If we subtract 432 from 500, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
680 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3454.569
Subtracting 648 from 680 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3454.5694
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3454.56944
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3454.56944, with a leftover of 3.2e-05.
