We're dividing 280600 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 280600 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
72 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 72

Step 2:
72 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 280 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
280 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 64.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 216 from 280.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 646 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 goes into 646 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 576 from 646.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 700 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 700 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 52.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 389.0
If we subtract 648 from 700, we get 52.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 520 / 72

Step 6:
72 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3897.0
Subtract 504 from 520 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 7:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3897.2
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.

Step 8:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3897.22
If we subtract 144 from 160, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3897.22 with a balance of 0.016.
