We're dividing 284714 by 72 
We want to divide 284714 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 72

On to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 284 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 284 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 284, we end up with 68.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 687 / 72

Step 4:
72 can be fit into 687 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtracting 648 from 687 leaves us with 39.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 391 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 391 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 395.0
Deduct 360 from 391 and we're left with 31.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 314 / 72

On to step 6:
314 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3954.0
If we take 288 away from 314, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3954.3
Subtract 216 from 260 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
440 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3954.36
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3954.361
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3954.3611
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3954.3611, and the remainder is 8e-05.
