We divide 206131 by 72
We want to divide 206131 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
20 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 206 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 206 2 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 144 from 206 to get 62.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 621 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
621 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 576 from 621 to get 45.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 453 / 72

Step 5:
72 goes into 453 6 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 286.0
If we take 432 away from 453, we end up with 21.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 211 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 211 2 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2862.0
If we take 144 away from 211, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 670 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2862.9
Subtract 648 from 670 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2862.93
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 216 from 220.
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:
If we divide 40 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2862.93
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2862.9305
If we subtract 360 from 400, we 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2862.93055
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2862.93055, with a leftover of 4e-05.
