18896 divided by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 18896 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 188 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 188 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 144 from 188 leaves us with 44.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 449 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 449 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 432 from 449.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 176 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 176 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 262.0
Deduct 144 from 176 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 262.4
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 262.44
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 262.44, with a leftover of 0.032.
