We're dividing 245157 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 245157 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 24 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 245 / 72

On to step 3:
245 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 245, we end up with 29.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 291 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 291 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we take 288 away from 291, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
35 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 35.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 340.0
Subtract 0 from 35 to get 35.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 357 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
357 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3404.0
If we subtract 288 from 357, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 690 9 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3404.9
Subtract 648 from 690 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
420 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3404.95
Deduct 360 from 420 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3404.958
Subtract 576 from 600 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3404.9583
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3404.95833
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 3404.95833 with a remainder of 2.4e-05.
