We look at the division of 276042 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 276042 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.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 276 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 goes into 276 3 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 216 from 276.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 600 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we take 576 away from 600, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 244 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 244 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 383.0
Deduct 216 from 244 and we're left with 28.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 282 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 282 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 66.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3833.0
Deduct 216 from 282 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 7:
660 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3833.9
If we subtract 648 from 660, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3833.91
If we subtract 72 from 120, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3833.916
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3833.9166
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3833.9166 with a remaining 0.00048.
