We look at the division of 32585997 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 32585997 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 32 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 32.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 32 and we're left with 32.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 325 / 72

Step 3:
The number 72 fits into 325 4 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 288 from 325.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 378 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 378 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we take 360 away from 378, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 185 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 goes into 185 2 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 452.0
If we take 144 away from 185, we end up with 41.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 419 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 419 5 times with a remainder of 59.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4525.0
Subtracting 360 from 419 leaves us with 59.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 599 / 72

Step 7:
599 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 23.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45258.0
If we subtract 576 from 599, we get 23.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 237 / 72

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 237 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 452583.0
Deduct 216 from 237 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 210 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 66.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 452583.2
Subtract 144 from 210 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 660 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 452583.29
Subtracting 648 from 660 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 452583.291
Subtract 72 from 120 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 12:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 452583.2916
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 452583.29166
If we subtract 432 from 480, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 452583.29166 with a remainder of 4.8e-05.
