We're dividing 17867282 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 17867282.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 178 2 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 144 away from 178, we end up with 34.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 346 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 goes into 346 4 times with a remainder of 58.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 288 from 346.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 587 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
587 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 248.0
If we take 576 away from 587, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 112 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 112 1 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2481.0
Subtracting 72 from 112 leaves us with 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 72

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 408 5 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24815.0
If we subtract 360 from 408, we get 48.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 482 / 72

Step 8:
The number 72 fits into 482 6 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 248156.0
Subtracting 432 from 482 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 248156.6
Subtract 432 from 500 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 680 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 248156.69
If we take 648 away from 680, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 248156.694
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 248156.6944
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 248156.6944 with a balance of 0.00032.
