We divide 317656 by 72
Our goal is to divide 317656 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
72 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 72

Step 2:
31 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 317 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 317 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 29.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 288 from 317 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 296 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 296 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Deduct 288 from 296 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 72

On to step 5:
72 can be fit into 85 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 441.0
Subtract 72 from 85 to get 13.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 136 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 136 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 64.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4411.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 72 from 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 7:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4411.8
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4411.88
If we take 576 away from 640, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4411.88 with a remaining 0.064.
