We look at the division of 1362481 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 1362481.

Step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 13 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 13 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 136 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 136 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 64.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 136 and we're left with 64.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 642 / 72

On to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 642 8 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 576 from 642 leaves us with 66.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 664 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 664 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 189.0
If we subtract 648 from 664, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 72

Step 6:
168 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1892.0
Subtracting 144 from 168 leaves us with 24.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 241 / 72

Step 7:
When dividing 241 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18923.0
If we subtract 216 from 241, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 250 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18923.3
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 216 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18923.34
Subtracting 288 from 340 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 520 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18923.347
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18923.3472
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left 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 12:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18923.34722
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 18923.34722 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
