We look at the division of 283561 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 283561 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 283 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 283 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 216 from 283 and we're left with 67.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 675 / 72

Step 4:
72 can be fit into 675 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 648 from 675 to get 27.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 276 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 276 3 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 393.0
Subtracting 216 from 276 leaves us with 60.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 601 / 72

On to step 6:
601 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 25.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3938.0
If we take 576 away from 601, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
250 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3938.3
Subtracting 216 from 250 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
340 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3938.34
If we take 288 away from 340, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
520 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3938.347
Subtract 504 from 520 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3938.3472
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3938.34722
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3938.34722 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
