We divide 270931 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 270931 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 270 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 goes into 270 3 times with a remainder of 54.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 270, we end up with 54.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 549 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 549 7 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtract 504 from 549 to get 45.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 453 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 453 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 21.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 376.0
Subtracting 432 from 453 leaves us with 21.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 211 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 211 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3762.0
Subtract 144 from 211 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Step 7:
670 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3762.9
If we take 648 away from 670, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3762.93
Subtract 216 from 220 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
40 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3762.93
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3762.9305
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3762.93055
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3762.93055, and the remainder is 4e-05.
