We're dividing 317696 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 317696.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 317 / 72

Step 3:
72 goes into 317 4 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 288 away from 317, we end up with 29.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 296 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
296 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 288 from 296 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 89 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 441.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 72 from 89.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 176 / 72

On to step 6:
176 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4412.0
If we take 144 away from 176, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4412.4
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4412.44
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4412.44 with a balance of 0.032.
