Let's divide 204250 by 72
Our goal is to divide 204250 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 204 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 204 2 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 144 away from 204, we end up with 60.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 602 / 72

On to step 4:
If we divide 602 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 576 from 602 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 265 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 265 3 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 283.0
Deduct 216 from 265 and we're left with 49.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 490 / 72

On to step 6:
72 can be fit into 490 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2836.0
If we take 432 away from 490, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 580 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2836.8
Subtract 576 from 580 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2836.8
If we take 0 away from 40, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2836.805
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2836.8055
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.

After the division, we end up with 2836.8055 and a remainder of 0.0004.
