26541 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 26541 can be divided by 72.

Advancing 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
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 265 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 265 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 265, we end up with 49.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 494 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 494 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 62.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 432 from 494.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 621 / 72

Step 5:
72 can be fit into 621 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 368.0
If we take 576 away from 621, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 450 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 368.6
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 432 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 368.62
Deduct 144 from 180 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 360 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 368.625
If we take 360 away from 360, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 368.625
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 368.625
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 368.625 with a balance of 0.0.
