We divide 217903 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 217903.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 can be fit into 217 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 216 from 217, we get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 19 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 19.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 190 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 302.0
Subtracting 144 from 190 leaves us with 46.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 463 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 can be fit into 463 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3026.0
Subtract 432 from 463 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3026.4
If we subtract 288 from 310, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 can be fit into 220 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3026.43
Subtract 216 from 220 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.

Moving on to step 9:
72 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3026.43
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 10:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3026.4305
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3026.43055
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3026.43055 with a remaining 4e-05.
