We look at the division of 100538 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 100538 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 100 / 72

On to step 3:
72 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 100, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 285 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 can be fit into 285 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 216 from 285 to get 69.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 693 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
693 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 45.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 139.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 648 from 693.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 458 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 458 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1396.0
If we subtract 432 from 458, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1396.3
Subtracting 216 from 260 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
440 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1396.36
If we subtract 432 from 440, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1396.361
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1396.3611
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1396.3611, and the remainder is 8e-05.
