We look at the division of 124296 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 124296 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 124 / 72

On to step 3:
72 can be fit into 124 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 124 leaves us with 52.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 522 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 522 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 504 away from 522, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 189 / 72

On to step 5:
72 can be fit into 189 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 172.0
Subtracting 144 from 189 leaves us with 45.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 456 / 72

Step 6:
72 goes into 456 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1726.0
Subtract 432 from 456 to 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1726.3
Subtract 216 from 240 to 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1726.33
Subtract 216 from 240 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 1726.33 and a remainder of 0.024.
