We divide 177079 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 177079 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 177 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 177 2 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 144 from 177 leaves us with 33.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 330 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 330 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 288 from 330 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 427 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
427 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 67.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 245.0
If we subtract 360 from 427, we get 67.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 67 and continue with: 679 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 679 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2459.0
If we subtract 648 from 679, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
310 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2459.4
Subtract 288 from 310 to get 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 8:
72 can be fit into 220 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2459.43
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.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 2459.43
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2459.4305
If we subtract 360 from 400, we 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2459.43055
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 2459.43055 and a remainder of 4e-05.
