289706 ÷ 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 289706.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 289 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
289 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 288 away from 289, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 72

Step 4:
17 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 170 / 72

Step 5:
170 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 402.0
If we subtract 144 from 170, we get 26.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 266 / 72

Step 6:
If we divide 266 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4023.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 216 from 266.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 500 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 68.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4023.6
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 432 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 72 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4023.69
Deduct 648 from 680 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 9:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4023.694
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4023.6944
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up 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.

The final result is 4023.6944 with a remainder of 0.00032.
