We're dividing 3312831 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 3312831 by 72.

Step 1:
3 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 33 / 72

Step 2:
72 goes into 33 0 times with a remainder of 33.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 33, we get 33.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 331 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 331 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 288 from 331, we get 43.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 432 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 432 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 432 from 432, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 72

Step 5:
When dividing 8 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 460.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 83 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 can be fit into 83 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4601.0
If we take 72 away from 83, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 111 / 72

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 111 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46011.0
If we take 72 away from 111, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 390 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46011.5
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 360 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 300 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46011.54
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 288 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46011.541
If we take 72 away from 120, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46011.5416
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46011.54166
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 46011.54166 with a remaining 4.8e-05.
