We look at the division of 257332 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 257332.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 257 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 41.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 216 from 257 and we're left with 41.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 413 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 can be fit into 413 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 360 from 413.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 533 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 533 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 357.0
Subtract 504 from 533 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 292 / 72

Step 6:
72 can be fit into 292 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3574.0
Subtracting 288 from 292 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3574.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3574.05
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3574.055
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 3574.055 with a remainder of 0.004.
