We divide 215151 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 215151.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 215 / 72

Step 3:
72 goes into 215 2 times with a remainder of 71.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 144 from 215 to get 71.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 711 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 711 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 648 from 711.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 635 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 635 8 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 298.0
If we take 576 away from 635, we end up with 59.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 591 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 591 8 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2988.0
If we subtract 576 from 591, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2988.2
If we subtract 144 from 150, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2988.2
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 600 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2988.208
If we take 576 away from 600, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2988.2083
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2988.20833
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2988.20833 with a remaining 2.4e-05.
