Let's divide 236462 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 236462.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 236 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 236 3 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 216 from 236, we get 20.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 204 / 72

On to step 4:
If we divide 204 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 144 from 204 to get 60.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 606 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
606 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 30.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 328.0
If we take 576 away from 606, we end up with 30.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 302 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 302 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3284.0
If we take 288 away from 302, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 68.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3284.1
Deduct 72 from 140 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
680 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3284.19
If we subtract 648 from 680, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3284.194
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3284.1944
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3284.1944 with a balance of 0.00032.
