Let's divide 339697 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 339697 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 33 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 33 0 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 33 to get 33.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 339 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 339 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 288 from 339 and we're left with 51.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 516 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
516 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
Deduct 504 from 516 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 129 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 129 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 471.0
Deduct 72 from 129 and we're left with 57.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 577 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 577 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4718.0
If we take 576 away from 577, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4718.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4718.01
Subtract 72 from 100 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.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4718.013
If we subtract 216 from 280, we 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4718.0138
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.

Step 11:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4718.01388
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4718.01388 with a balance of 6.4e-05.
