We divide 179596 by 72
Our goal is to divide 179596 by 72.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 179 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 goes into 179 2 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 144 from 179 to get 35.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 355 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 can be fit into 355 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 288 from 355, we get 67.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 67, then repeat: 679 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 goes into 679 9 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 249.0
Deduct 648 from 679 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 316 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 316 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2494.0
Deduct 288 from 316 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2494.3
Subtract 216 from 280 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2494.38
If we take 576 away from 640, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2494.388
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2494.388, and the remainder is 0.0064.
