312427 divided by 72 
We want to divide 312427 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 72

Step 2:
72 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 312 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 312 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 288 from 312 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 244 / 72

On to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 244 3 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we take 216 away from 244, we end up with 28.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 282 / 72

Step 5:
When dividing 282 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 433.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 216 from 282.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 667 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 667 9 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4339.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 648 from 667.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4339.2
If we take 144 away from 190, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 460 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4339.26
If we subtract 432 from 460, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4339.263
Subtract 216 from 280 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4339.2638
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 11:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4339.26388
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 576 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4339.26388 and a remainder of 6.4e-05.
