256543 ÷ 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 256543.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 72, we get 0 and 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.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 256 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 can be fit into 256 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 216 from 256 leaves us with 40.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 405 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 405 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 360 from 405 and we're left with 45.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 454 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 454 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 356.0
Subtract 432 from 454 to get 22.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 223 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 223 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3563.0
If we take 216 away from 223, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
70 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3563.0
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3563.09
If we subtract 648 from 700, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3563.097
Subtract 504 from 520 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3563.0972
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3563.09722
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 3563.09722 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
