273436 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 273436 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 273 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 273 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 216 away from 273, we end up with 57.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 574 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 574 7 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtract 504 from 574 to get 70.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 703 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
703 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 379.0
If we take 648 away from 703, we end up with 55.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 556 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
556 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3797.0
Subtract 504 from 556 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3797.7
Subtracting 504 from 520 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3797.72
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3797.722
If we subtract 144 from 160, we 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.

The final result is 3797.722 with a remainder of 0.0016.
