We divide 34868 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 34868 can be divided 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.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
34 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 34 to get 34.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 348 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 348 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 288 from 348 to get 60.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 606 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 606 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 30.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 576 from 606 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 308 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 484.0
Subtracting 288 from 308 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
200 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 484.2
Deduct 144 from 200 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 484.27
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 484.277
Subtract 504 from 560 to 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 484.277, and the remainder is 0.0056.
