73249 ÷ 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 73249.

Advancing to step 1:
72 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 72

Step 2:
73 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 73, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 124 / 72

On to step 4:
124 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 101.0
Deduct 72 from 124 and we're left with 52.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 529 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 529 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1017.0
If we subtract 504 from 529, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
72 goes into 250 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1017.3
Deduct 216 from 250 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1017.34
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 288 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 520 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1017.347
If we take 504 away from 520, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1017.3472
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1017.34722
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 1017.34722 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
