161652 divided by 72 
We want to divide 161652 by 72.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 161 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 161 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 144 from 161, we get 17.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 176 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 176 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 144 away from 176, we end up with 32.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 325 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 325 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 224.0
If we take 288 away from 325, we end up with 37.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 372 / 72

Step 6:
72 can be fit into 372 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2245.0
If we subtract 360 from 372, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
120 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2245.1
Subtract 72 from 120 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2245.16
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2245.166
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2245.166 with a remaining 0.0048.
