We're dividing 144174 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 144174.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
14 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 144 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 144 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 144 from 144, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 1 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 200.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 174 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2002.0
If we subtract 144 from 174, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 7:
300 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2002.4
If we subtract 288 from 300, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
120 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2002.41
If we subtract 72 from 120, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2002.416
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2002.4166
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 2002.4166 with a remainder of 0.00048.
