Let's divide 213827 by 72
We want to divide 213827 by 72.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 213 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 213 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 69.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 144 from 213 to get 69.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 698 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 698 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 648 from 698 and we're left with 50.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 502 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 502 6 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 296.0
If we subtract 432 from 502, we get 70.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 70 and continue: 707 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 707 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2969.0
If we take 648 away from 707, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
590 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2969.8
Subtracting 576 from 590 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2969.81
Subtract 72 from 140 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 680 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2969.819
Deduct 648 from 680 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.

Step 10:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2969.8194
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.

Advancing to step 11:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2969.81944
If we subtract 288 from 320, 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.

After the division, we end up with 2969.81944 and a remainder of 3.2e-05.
