265552 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 265552 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 265 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 265 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 216 from 265 leaves us with 49.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 495 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 495 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 63.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 432 from 495.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 635 / 72

On to step 5:
If we divide 635 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 368.0
Subtracting 576 from 635 leaves us with 59.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 592 / 72

Step 6:
If we divide 592 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3688.0
Subtract 576 from 592 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3688.2
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3688.22
Subtract 144 from 160 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3688.22 with a balance of 0.016.
