Let's divide 218928 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 218928.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 218 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 218 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 218, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 29 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 292 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 292 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 304.0
Subtracting 288 from 292 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 48 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3040.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 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 7:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3040.6
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.

Step 8:
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: 3040.66
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 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 outcome is 3040.66, with a leftover of 0.048.
