29712 divided by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 29712.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 297 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 297 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 288 from 297.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 91 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 91 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we subtract 72 from 91, we get 19.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 192 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 192 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 412.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 144 from 192.
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 6:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 412.6
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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 412.66
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.

The quotient of the division is 412.66, and the remainder is 0.048.
