We divide 232219 by 72
Our goal is to divide 232219 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 232 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 232 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 232, we end up with 16.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 162 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 can be fit into 162 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 144 away from 162, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 181 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 181 2 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 322.0
Subtracting 144 from 181 leaves us with 37.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 379 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 goes into 379 5 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3225.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 360 from 379.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3225.2
If we take 144 away from 190, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
460 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3225.26
Subtract 432 from 460 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 72 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3225.263
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 216 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 10:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3225.2638
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3225.26388
Subtracting 576 from 640 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3225.26388 and a remainder of 6.4e-05.
