We look at the division of 114278 by 72 
We want to divide 114278 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 72

Step 2:
72 can be fit into 11 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 11, we get 11.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 114 / 72

Step 3:
If we divide 114 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 114 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 422 / 72

On to step 4:
422 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 360 from 422.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 627 / 72

Step 5:
627 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 51.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 158.0
Subtracting 576 from 627 leaves us with 51.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 518 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
518 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1587.0
Deduct 504 from 518 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 68.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1587.1
If we subtract 72 from 140, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 680 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1587.19
Deduct 648 from 680 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1587.194
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1587.1944
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1587.1944 and a remainder of 0.00032.
