Let's divide 257605 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 257605.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 257 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 216 from 257 leaves us with 41.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 416 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 goes into 416 5 times with a remainder of 56.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 360 from 416 leaves us with 56.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 560 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 357.0
If we subtract 504 from 560, we get 56.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 565 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 565 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 61.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3577.0
Subtract 504 from 565 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
610 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3577.8
Deduct 576 from 610 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3577.84
Subtracting 288 from 340 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
520 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3577.847
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3577.8472
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3577.84722
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

The final result is 3577.84722 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
