Let's divide 187952 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 187952 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
72 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 18 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 187 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 144 from 187.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 439 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 439 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 432 from 439.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
75 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 261.0
Subtracting 72 from 75 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 32 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 32 0 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2610.0
Subtract 0 from 32 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2610.4
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2610.44
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.

The final outcome is 2610.44, with a leftover of 0.032.
