229286 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 229286 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 22, we get 22.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 229 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 216 from 229 leaves us with 13.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 132 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 132 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 72 from 132, we get 60.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 608 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 608 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 318.0
Subtract 576 from 608 to get 32.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 326 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 can be fit into 326 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3184.0
If we subtract 288 from 326, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3184.5
If we take 360 away from 380, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 72 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3184.52
If we take 144 away from 200, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3184.527
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3184.5277
If we subtract 504 from 560, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3184.5277 with a balance of 0.00056.
