157958 ÷ 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 157958.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 15 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 157 / 72

Step 3:
The number 72 fits into 157 2 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 144 away from 157, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 139 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 139 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 72 from 139 to get 67.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 67 and continue with: 675 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 675 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 219.0
If we subtract 648 from 675, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 278 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 278 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 62.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2193.0
Deduct 216 from 278 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 620 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2193.8
If we subtract 576 from 620, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2193.86
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2193.861
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 80 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2193.8611
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2193.8611 with a remaining 8e-05.
