Let's divide 33990732 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 33990732.

Going ahead 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
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 33 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 33 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 33, we get 33.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 339 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 339 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 288 away from 339, we end up with 51.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 519 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 519 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 504 away from 519, we end up with 15.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 150 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 472.0
Subtracting 144 from 150 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 67 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
67 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 67.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4720.0
If we subtract 0 from 67, we get 67.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 673 / 72

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 673 9 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47209.0
If we take 648 away from 673, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 252 / 72

Going ahead to step 8:
72 can be fit into 252 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 472093.0
If we subtract 216 from 252, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 goes into 360 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 472093.5
If we subtract 360 from 360, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 472093.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 472093.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 472093.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
