Let's divide 248254 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 248254.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 72

Step 2:
24 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 248 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 248 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 216 from 248 to get 32.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 322 / 72

On to step 4:
72 goes into 322 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we take 288 away from 322, we end up with 34.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 345 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 345 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 344.0
If we take 288 away from 345, we end up with 57.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 574 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 574 7 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3447.0
Deduct 504 from 574 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
700 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3447.9
If we take 648 away from 700, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3447.97
If we take 504 away from 520, 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3447.972
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3447.9722
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 3447.9722, with a leftover of 0.00016.
