Let's divide 301477 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 301477.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 301 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 301 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 13.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 288 from 301, we get 13.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 134 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 62.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtracting 72 from 134 leaves us with 62.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 627 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
627 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 418.0
If we subtract 576 from 627, we get 51.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 517 / 72

Step 6:
The number 72 fits into 517 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4187.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 504 from 517.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 can be fit into 130 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4187.1
Subtract 72 from 130 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 580 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4187.18
Subtracting 576 from 580 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.

Moving on to step 9:
72 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4187.18
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Step 10:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4187.1805
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.

Step 11:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4187.18055
If we subtract 360 from 400, we 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.

The final outcome is 4187.18055, with a leftover of 4e-05.
