We divide 140568 by 72
Our goal is to divide 140568 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 140 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 68.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 140 leaves us with 68.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 685 / 72

Step 4:
72 can be fit into 685 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 648 from 685.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 376 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 376 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 195.0
Subtract 360 from 376 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 168 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1952.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 144 from 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1952.3
If we subtract 216 from 240, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1952.33
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.

The final outcome is 1952.33, with a leftover of 0.024.
