We divide 204847 by 72
We want to divide 204847 by 72.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 204 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 204 2 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 144 from 204 leaves us with 60.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 608 / 72

On to step 4:
608 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 576 away from 608, we end up with 32.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 324 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 324 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 284.0
Deduct 288 from 324 and we're left with 36.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 367 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 367 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 7.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2845.0
Subtracting 360 from 367 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2845.0
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 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 8:
72 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2845.09
Subtract 648 from 700 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 520 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2845.097
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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2845.0972
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.

Step 11:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2845.09722
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.

The final outcome is 2845.09722, with a leftover of 1.6e-05.
