We're dividing 204599 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 204599.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 204 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
204 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 60.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 144 away from 204, we end up with 60.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 605 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 605 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 576 from 605 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 299 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 299 4 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 284.0
Deduct 288 from 299 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 119 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 119 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 47.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2841.0
If we take 72 away from 119, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 470 6 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2841.6
If we take 432 away from 470, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2841.65
Deduct 360 from 380 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
200 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2841.652
Deduct 144 from 200 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2841.6527
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2841.65277
Subtract 504 from 560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2841.65277 and a remainder of 5.6e-05.
