We're dividing 217802 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 217802.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 217 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 216 from 217 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 18 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 180 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 302.0
If we take 144 away from 180, we end up with 36.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 362 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 362 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3025.0
If we take 360 away from 362, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3025.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3025.02
Subtract 144 from 200 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3025.027
Subtract 504 from 560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3025.0277
Subtracting 504 from 560 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3025.0277, and the remainder is 0.00056.
