We look at the division of 272989 by 76 
Let's see how many times 76 fits into 272989.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 76 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 76

On to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 76, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 272 / 76

On to step 3:
76 can be fit into 272 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 228 from 272, we get 44.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 449 / 76

Advancing to step 4:
The number 76 fits into 449 5 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 380 from 449 leaves us with 69.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 698 / 76

On to step 5:
76 goes into 698 9 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 359.0
Deduct 684 from 698 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 149 / 76

On to step 6:
149 divided by 76 is 1 with a remainder of 73.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3591.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 76 from 149.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 76 fits into 730 9 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3591.9
Deduct 684 from 730 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 460 by 76, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3591.96
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 456 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
76 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3591.96
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 76, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3591.9605
Deduct 380 from 400 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 76, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3591.96052
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 152 from 200.
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 12:
76 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3591.960526
If we subtract 456 from 480, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 240 by 76, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3591.9605263
If we take 228 away from 240, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 14:
76 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3591.96052631
Subtracting 76 from 120 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3591.96052631 with a remaining 4.4e-08.
