We're dividing 204677 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 204677 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 204 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 can be fit into 204 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 144 from 204 leaves us with 60.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 606 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 606 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 576 away from 606, we end up with 30.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 307 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
307 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 19.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 284.0
Subtracting 288 from 307 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 197 / 72

On to step 6:
72 can be fit into 197 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2842.0
If we subtract 144 from 197, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 goes into 530 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2842.7
Subtracting 504 from 530 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2842.73
Subtracting 216 from 260 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
440 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2842.736
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
72 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2842.7361
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2842.73611
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2842.73611 and a remainder of 8e-06.
