304916 divided by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 304916 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 72

On to step 2:
72 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 304 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 304 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 288 from 304, we get 16.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 72

On to step 4:
72 goes into 169 2 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 144 from 169 to get 25.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 251 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 251 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 423.0
If we subtract 216 from 251, we get 35.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 356 / 72

On to step 6:
356 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4234.0
If we take 288 away from 356, we end up with 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:
When dividing 680 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4234.9
If we subtract 648 from 680, we 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4234.94
Subtracting 288 from 320 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.

Step 9:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4234.944
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 final outcome is 4234.944, with a leftover of 0.0032.
