We're dividing 307699 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 307699.

Step 1:
72 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 72

Step 2:
72 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 307 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 307 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 19.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 288 from 307 and we're left with 19.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 196 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 196 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 144 from 196 to get 52.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 529 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 529 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 25.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 427.0
Subtracting 504 from 529 leaves us with 25.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 72

Step 6:
If we divide 259 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 43.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4273.0
If we take 216 away from 259, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 goes into 430 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4273.5
Deduct 360 from 430 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4273.59
Subtract 648 from 700 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4273.597
Subtracting 504 from 520 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.

On to step 10:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4273.5972
If we subtract 144 from 160, 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 11:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4273.59722
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up 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.

Our division results in 4273.59722 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
