We divide 271569 by 72
Our goal is to divide 271569 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
72 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 271 / 72

Step 3:
If we divide 271 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 55.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 271, we end up with 55.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 555 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 555 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 51.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we subtract 504 from 555, we get 51.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 516 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 516 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 377.0
If we subtract 504 from 516, we get 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 can be fit into 129 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3771.0
Deduct 72 from 129 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 570 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3771.7
Subtract 504 from 570 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 660 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3771.79
Deduct 648 from 660 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3771.791
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 72 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3771.7916
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3771.79166
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3771.79166, and the remainder is 4.8e-05.
