Let's divide 27526 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 27526.

Step 1:
2 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 275 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 goes into 275 3 times with a remainder of 59.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 216 from 275, we get 59.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 592 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
592 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtract 576 from 592 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 166 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 166 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 382.0
If we subtract 144 from 166, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 382.3
Subtract 216 from 220 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 382.3
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 382.305
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 382.3055
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 382.3055 with a remaining 0.0004.
