We divide 144512 by 72
Our goal is to divide 144512 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 144 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 144 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 144 from 144, we get 0.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 51 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 200.0
Subtract 0 from 51 to get 51.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 512 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 512 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2007.0
If we subtract 504 from 512, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2007.1
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2007.11
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 2007.11 with a remainder of 0.008.
