263948 divided by 72 
We want to divide 263948 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 263 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
263 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 216 from 263 to get 47.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 479 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 479 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 432 from 479.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 474 / 72

On to step 5:
72 can be fit into 474 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 366.0
Deduct 432 from 474 and we're left with 42.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 428 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 428 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3665.0
If we subtract 360 from 428, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
680 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3665.9
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 648 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3665.94
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3665.944
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3665.944, and the remainder is 0.0032.
