We divide 148874 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 148874.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 148 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 148 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 144 away from 148, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
48 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 487 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
487 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 206.0
Subtracting 432 from 487 leaves us with 55.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 554 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 can be fit into 554 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2067.0
If we subtract 504 from 554, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 68.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2067.6
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 432 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 680 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2067.69
If we subtract 648 from 680, 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 9:
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: 2067.694
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2067.6944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 2067.6944, with a leftover of 0.00032.
