We divide 234999 by 72
We want to divide 234999 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 72

On to step 2:
23 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 234 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 234 3 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 216 from 234.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 189 / 72

Step 4:
72 goes into 189 2 times with a remainder of 45.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 144 from 189.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 459 / 72

On to step 5:
72 goes into 459 6 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 326.0
Subtract 432 from 459 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 72

Step 6:
When dividing 279 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3263.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 216 from 279.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 630 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3263.8
If we take 576 away from 630, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3263.87
Deduct 504 from 540 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3263.875
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 360 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3263.875
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3263.875
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3263.875, with a leftover of 0.0.
