We're dividing 72538 by 241 
We want to divide 72538 by 241.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 241, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 241

Moving on to step 2:
241 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 725 / 241

Step 3:
If we divide 725 by 241, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 723 from 725 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 241

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 23 by 241, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 238 / 241

Going ahead to step 5:
241 can be fit into 238 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 238.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 300.0
The remainder is 238 after subtracting 0 from 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
241 can be fit into 2380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 211.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 300.9
Subtract 2169 from 2380 to get 211.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
241 goes into 2110 8 times with a remainder of 182.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 300.98
If we take 1928 away from 2110, we end up with 182.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

Step 8:
1820 divided by 241 is 7 with a remainder of 133.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 300.987
Subtract 1687 from 1820 to get 133.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 1330 by 241, we get 5 and a remainder of 125.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 300.9875
If we take 1205 away from 1330, we end up with 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 1250 by 241, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 300.98755
Subtracting 1205 from 1250 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 300.98755, and the remainder is 4.5e-05.
