228500 divided by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 228500 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 22 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 228 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 228 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 216 from 228, we get 12.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 125 / 72

Step 4:
72 goes into 125 1 times with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 72 from 125 leaves us with 53.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 530 / 72

Step 5:
72 can be fit into 530 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 317.0
If we subtract 504 from 530, we get 26.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 260 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 260 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3173.0
Subtract 216 from 260 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 goes into 440 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3173.6
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3173.61
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3173.611
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3173.611, with a leftover of 0.0008.
