217023 divided by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 217023.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 goes into 217 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 217, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 10 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 102 / 72

Step 5:
When dividing 102 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 301.0
Deduct 72 from 102 and we're left with 30.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 303 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 303 4 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3014.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 288 from 303.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3014.2
Deduct 144 from 150 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3014.2
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
600 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3014.208
If we take 576 away from 600, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3014.2083
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3014.20833
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3014.20833 with a balance of 2.4e-05.
