Let's divide 235545 by 72
Our goal is to divide 235545 by 72.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 235 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 235 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 235, we end up with 19.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 195 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 195 2 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 144 from 195, we get 51.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 514 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 514 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 10.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 327.0
Subtracting 504 from 514 leaves us with 10.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 105 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 105 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3271.0
If we subtract 72 from 105, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3271.4
Subtract 288 from 330 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 420 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3271.45
If we take 360 away from 420, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
600 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3271.458
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 576 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3271.4583
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3271.45833
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 3271.45833 with a remainder of 2.4e-05.
