We look at the division of 17931 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 17931 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 179 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
179 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 35.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 144 from 179.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 353 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
353 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 288 from 353 to get 65.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 65 and repeat the process: 651 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 651 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 249.0
Subtract 648 from 651 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
72 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 249.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 300 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 249.04
Deduct 288 from 300 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 249.041
If we take 72 away from 120, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 249.0416
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 249.04166
If we subtract 432 from 480, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 249.04166, and the remainder is 4.8e-05.
