Let's divide 286592 by 72
Our goal is to divide 286592 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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 (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 286 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 286 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 70.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 216 from 286 leaves us with 70.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 705 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 705 9 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 648 from 705.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 579 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 579 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 398.0
If we take 576 away from 579, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 32 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 32 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 32.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3980.0
If we subtract 0 from 32, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3980.4
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3980.44
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3980.44, and the remainder is 0.032.
