We divide 316469 by 72
Our goal is to divide 316469 by 72.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 72

Step 2:
If we divide 31 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 316 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 316 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 288 from 316.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 284 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 284 3 times with a remainder of 68.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtracting 216 from 284 leaves us with 68.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 686 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
686 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 38.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 439.0
Deduct 648 from 686 and we're left with 38.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 389 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
389 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4395.0
If we take 360 away from 389, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 290 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4395.4
Subtracting 288 from 290 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4395.4
If we subtract 0 from 20, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
200 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4395.402
If we subtract 144 from 200, 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4395.4027
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4395.40277
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.

The quotient of the division is 4395.40277, and the remainder is 5.6e-05.
