We divide 211693 by 72
Our goal is to divide 211693 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 72

Step 2:
72 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 211 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
211 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 67.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 144 from 211 to get 67.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 67, then repeat: 676 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
676 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 648 from 676, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 289 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
289 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 294.0
If we take 288 away from 289, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 can be fit into 13 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2940.0
Subtract 0 from 13 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 goes into 130 1 times with a remainder of 58.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2940.1
Deduct 72 from 130 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 goes into 580 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2940.18
Deduct 576 from 580 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2940.18
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2940.1805
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2940.18055
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 2940.18055 with a remainder of 4e-05.
