35689 divided by 72 
We want to divide 35689 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 35 0 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 0 from 35.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 356 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
356 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 288 away from 356, we end up with 68.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 688 / 72

Step 4:
688 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 40.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtracting 648 from 688 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 409 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 409 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 495.0
Deduct 360 from 409 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 58.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 495.6
Deduct 432 from 490 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 580 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 495.68
Subtracting 576 from 580 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 495.68
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 495.6805
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 495.68055
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 495.68055 with a remaining 4e-05.
