We divide 206357 by 72
Our goal is to divide 206357 by 72.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 206 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 206 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 144 away from 206, we end up with 62.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 623 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 623 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 47.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 576 from 623 and we're left with 47.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 475 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 475 6 times with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 286.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 432 from 475.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 437 / 72

On to step 6:
72 can be fit into 437 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2866.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 432 from 437.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2866.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 500 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2866.06
If we take 432 away from 500, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 72 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2866.069
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 648 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2866.0694
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2866.06944
If we subtract 288 from 320, we 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.

The final result is 2866.06944 with a remainder of 3.2e-05.
