We're dividing 299672 by 72 
We want to divide 299672 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 299 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 299 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 11.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 288 from 299 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 116 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 116 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtracting 72 from 116 leaves us with 44.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 447 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 447 6 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 416.0
Deduct 432 from 447 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 152 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 152 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4162.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 144 from 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4162.1
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4162.11
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4162.11 with a balance of 0.008.
