We look at the division of 305557 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 305557 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
3 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 305 / 72

Step 3:
The number 72 fits into 305 4 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 288 from 305 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 175 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 175 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 31.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 144 from 175 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 315 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 315 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 27.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 424.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 288 from 315.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 277 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 277 3 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4243.0
If we subtract 216 from 277, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 610 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4243.8
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 576 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 52.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4243.84
Subtract 288 from 340 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4243.847
If we subtract 504 from 520, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4243.8472
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4243.84722
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4243.84722 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
