We're dividing 333331 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 333331 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 33 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 goes into 33 0 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 33 and we're left with 33.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 333 / 72

On to step 3:
72 can be fit into 333 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 288 from 333 to get 45.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 453 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
453 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 21.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 432 from 453, we get 21.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 213 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
213 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 69.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 462.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 144 from 213.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 691 / 72

Step 6:
691 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4629.0
Subtract 648 from 691 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 430 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4629.5
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 360 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4629.59
Subtract 648 from 700 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4629.597
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 504 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4629.5972
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4629.59722
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4629.59722 and a remainder of 1.6e-05.
