18975 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 18975 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 72

On to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 189 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
189 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 45.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 144 from 189 leaves us with 45.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 457 / 72

Step 4:
457 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 25.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 432 from 457, we get 25.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 255 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 255 3 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 263.0
Deduct 216 from 255 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 390 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 263.5
Subtracting 360 from 390 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 263.54
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 288 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 263.541
Subtracting 72 from 120 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 263.5416
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 263.54166
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 263.54166 with a balance of 4.8e-05.
