We're dividing 183979 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 183979.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 183 / 72

Step 3:
The number 72 fits into 183 2 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 144 from 183 leaves us with 39.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 399 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 399 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 360 from 399 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 397 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 397 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 37.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 255.0
Subtract 360 from 397 to get 37.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 379 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 379 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 19.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2555.0
Subtract 360 from 379 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2555.2
Subtract 144 from 190 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
460 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2555.26
Subtracting 432 from 460 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2555.263
Subtracting 216 from 280 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 10:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2555.2638
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 576 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 640 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2555.26388
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2555.26388, and the remainder is 6.4e-05.
