Let's divide 218228 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 218228.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 218 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 218 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 216 from 218, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we subtract 0 from 22, we get 22.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 222 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 222 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 303.0
Subtract 216 from 222 to get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 goes into 68 0 times with a remainder of 68.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3030.0
Subtract 0 from 68 to 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.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3030.9
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.

Let's proceed 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: 3030.94
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3030.944
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 3030.944, with a leftover of 0.0032.
