We look at the division of 168071 by 72 
We want to divide 168071 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
72 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 168 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 144 from 168 to get 24.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 240 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 247 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 247 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 233.0
If we take 216 away from 247, we end up with 31.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 311 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 goes into 311 4 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2334.0
If we subtract 288 from 311, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2334.3
If we subtract 216 from 230, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 68.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2334.31
Subtracting 72 from 140 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2334.319
Subtract 648 from 680 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2334.3194
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2334.31944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us 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 2334.31944, and the remainder is 3.2e-05.
