We're dividing 188552 by 72 
We want to divide 188552 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 188 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
188 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 144 from 188.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 445 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
445 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtracting 432 from 445 leaves us with 13.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 135 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 135 1 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 261.0
Subtract 72 from 135 to get 63.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 63 and repeat the process: 632 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 632 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2618.0
If we take 576 away from 632, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2618.7
Subtract 504 from 560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2618.77
Subtracting 504 from 560 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2618.77 and a remainder of 0.056.
