We're dividing 184121 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 184121 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed 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
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 18 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 184 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 184 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 144 from 184 leaves us with 40.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 401 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 401 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 360 from 401.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 412 / 72

Step 5:
When dividing 412 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 52.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 255.0
If we subtract 360 from 412, we get 52.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 521 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 521 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2557.0
Deduct 504 from 521 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 170 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2557.2
Subtracting 144 from 170 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2557.23
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 216 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 440 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2557.236
Deduct 432 from 440 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2557.2361
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2557.23611
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 2557.23611 with a remainder of 8e-06.
