201201 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 201201 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
20 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 201 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
201 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 57.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 144 from 201, we get 57.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 572 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 572 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 504 from 572, we get 68.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 680 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
680 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 279.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 648 from 680.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 321 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 321 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2794.0
Subtracting 288 from 321 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2794.4
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 288 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 420 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2794.45
If we subtract 360 from 420, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2794.458
If we subtract 576 from 600, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2794.4583
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2794.45833
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2794.45833 with a remaining 2.4e-05.
