We're dividing 243779 by 72 
We want to divide 243779 by 72.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 72

Step 2:
If we divide 24 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 243 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 243 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 243, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 277 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 277 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 61.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Deduct 216 from 277 and we're left with 61.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 617 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 617 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 41.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 338.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 576 from 617.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 419 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 419 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 59.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3385.0
If we subtract 360 from 419, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 590 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3385.8
Deduct 576 from 590 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3385.81
Subtracting 72 from 140 leaves us with 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 9:
If we divide 680 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3385.819
Subtract 648 from 680 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.

Advancing to step 10:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3385.8194
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.

Moving on to step 11:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3385.81944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 3385.81944 with a remaining 3.2e-05.
