40336 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 40336 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 403 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 403 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 360 from 403 leaves us with 43.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 433 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 433 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtracting 432 from 433 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
16 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 560.0
Deduct 0 from 16 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.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 560.2
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 560.22
Deduct 144 from 160 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.

Our division results in 560.22 with a remaining 0.016.
