We're dividing 210359 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 210359 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 72

Step 2:
72 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 210 / 72

Step 3:
72 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 144 from 210.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 663 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
663 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 648 from 663 leaves us with 15.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 155 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
155 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 292.0
Subtracting 144 from 155 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 119 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
119 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2921.0
Subtracting 72 from 119 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 470 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2921.6
If we subtract 432 from 470, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2921.65
If we subtract 360 from 380, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2921.652
Deduct 144 from 200 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2921.6527
If we subtract 504 from 560, we 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 11:
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: 2921.65277
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.

The final result is 2921.65277 with a remainder of 5.6e-05.
