We're dividing 281556 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 281556 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 72

Moving on 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
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 281 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 281 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 216 from 281 and we're left with 65.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 655 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 655 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtracting 648 from 655 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 75 / 72

Step 5:
72 can be fit into 75 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 391.0
Deduct 72 from 75 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 36 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3910.0
Subtracting 0 from 36 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 360 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3910.5
Subtracting 360 from 360 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3910.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
0 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3910.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3910.5 with a balance of 0.0.
