We look at the division of 312944 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 312944 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 31 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 312 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 goes into 312 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 288 from 312 to get 24.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 249 / 72

On to step 4:
249 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43.0
Deduct 216 from 249 and we're left with 33.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 334 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 334 4 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 434.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 288 from 334.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 464 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 464 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4346.0
Subtracting 432 from 464 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4346.4
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 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 8:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4346.44
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 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 quotient of the division is 4346.44, and the remainder is 0.032.
