Let's divide 227612 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 227612 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 72

On to step 2:
When dividing 22 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 227 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 227 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 216 from 227 and we're left with 11.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 116 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 72 from 116.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 441 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 441 6 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 316.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 432 from 441.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 92 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 can be fit into 92 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3161.0
If we take 72 away from 92, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 200 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3161.2
Subtracting 144 from 200 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
560 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3161.27
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3161.277
If we subtract 504 from 560, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3161.277, with a leftover of 0.0056.
