We divide 187738 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 187738.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 72

On to step 2:
18 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 187 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 187 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 144 from 187 leaves us with 43.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 437 / 72

Step 4:
72 goes into 437 6 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 432 from 437.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 72

On to step 5:
72 goes into 53 0 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 260.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 538 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 538 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2607.0
Deduct 504 from 538 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2607.4
Subtracting 288 from 340 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
520 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2607.47
If we subtract 504 from 520, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2607.472
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2607.4722
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2607.4722 with a balance of 0.00016.
