We're dividing 270797 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 270797 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.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 270 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 270 3 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 216 from 270 leaves us with 54.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 547 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 547 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 43.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we subtract 504 from 547, we get 43.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 439 / 72

Step 5:
When dividing 439 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 376.0
Deduct 432 from 439 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 77 / 72

On to step 6:
77 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3761.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 72 from 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3761.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3761.06
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 432 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
680 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3761.069
Subtracting 648 from 680 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3761.0694
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3761.06944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 3761.06944 with a remainder of 3.2e-05.
