Let's divide 273883 by 72
Our goal is to divide 273883 by 72.

Let's proceed 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
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
27 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 273 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 273 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 273, we end up with 57.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 578 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 goes into 578 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 576 from 578, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 380.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 283 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 283 3 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3803.0
Subtracting 216 from 283 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 670 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3803.9
If we subtract 648 from 670, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3803.93
If we take 216 away from 220, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3803.93
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3803.9305
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3803.93055
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3803.93055 with a balance of 4e-05.
