We divide 251026 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 251026.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 251 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 251 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 216 from 251, we get 35.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 350 / 72

On to step 4:
350 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 288 from 350 leaves us with 62.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 622 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
622 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 348.0
If we take 576 away from 622, we end up with 46.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 466 / 72

Step 6:
72 goes into 466 6 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3486.0
Subtracting 432 from 466 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
340 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3486.4
If we take 288 away from 340, we end up with 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 8:
When dividing 520 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3486.47
Deduct 504 from 520 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3486.472
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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3486.4722
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3486.4722, and the remainder is 0.00016.
