We're dividing 232938 by 72 
We want to divide 232938 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 232 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 232 3 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 216 from 232 leaves us with 16.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 169 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 169 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 144 from 169 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 253 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 253 3 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 323.0
Subtracting 216 from 253 leaves us with 37.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 378 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 378 5 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3235.0
Subtracting 360 from 378 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 180 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3235.2
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 144 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 360 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3235.25
Deduct 360 from 360 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3235.25
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3235.25
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3235.25, and the remainder is 0.0.
