We look at the division of 177870 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 177870.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
17 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 177 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
177 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 144 away from 177, we end up with 33.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 338 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 338 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 50.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 288 away from 338, we end up with 50.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 507 / 72

Step 5:
507 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 247.0
If we take 504 away from 507, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2470.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2470.4
Subtracting 288 from 300 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2470.41
Subtract 72 from 120 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2470.416
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2470.4166
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2470.4166 with a balance of 0.00048.
