Let's divide 357845 by 72
We want to divide 357845 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 35 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 35 0 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 35 to get 35.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 357 / 72

On to step 3:
When dividing 357 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 288 from 357 to get 69.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 698 / 72

On to step 4:
72 can be fit into 698 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 648 from 698 to get 50.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 504 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 504 7 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 497.0
Subtract 504 from 504 to get 0.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 5 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4970.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
50 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4970.0
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 500 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4970.06
Subtracting 432 from 500 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4970.069
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 648 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4970.0694
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4970.06944
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4970.06944, and the remainder is 3.2e-05.
