We're dividing 299613 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 299613 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 299 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 can be fit into 299 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 288 from 299 to get 11.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 116 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 116 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 44.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we subtract 72 from 116, we get 44.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 441 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 441 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 416.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 432 from 441.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 93 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
93 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4161.0
If we subtract 72 from 93, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 66.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4161.2
If we subtract 144 from 210, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 goes into 660 9 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4161.29
Subtract 648 from 660 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4161.291
Subtract 72 from 120 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4161.2916
If we subtract 432 from 480, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4161.29166
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 4161.29166 with a remainder of 4.8e-05.
