We look at the division of 299974 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 299974 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
29 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 299 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 299 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 11.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 288 away from 299, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 119 / 72

Step 4:
72 can be fit into 119 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Deduct 72 from 119 and we're left with 47.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 477 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 477 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 416.0
If we take 432 away from 477, we end up with 45.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 454 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
454 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4166.0
Subtracting 432 from 454 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4166.3
Subtract 216 from 220 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4166.3
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4166.305
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4166.3055
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4166.3055 and a remainder of 0.0004.
