208669 divided by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 208669.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 208 / 72

On to step 3:
208 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 144 from 208 to get 64.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 646 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 646 8 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 576 away from 646, we end up with 70.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 706 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 706 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 289.0
Subtracting 648 from 706 leaves us with 58.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 589 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 589 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2898.0
Deduct 576 from 589 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
130 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 58.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2898.1
Subtract 72 from 130 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2898.18
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 576 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
40 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2898.18
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2898.1805
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2898.18055
If we subtract 360 from 400, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2898.18055 and a remainder of 4e-05.
