We divide 238343 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 238343.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 23 0 times, leaving 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.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 238 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 238 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 216 from 238, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 223 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 223 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 216 from 223.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 74 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 331.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 72 from 74.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3310.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 230 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3310.3
Subtracting 216 from 230 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
140 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 68.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3310.31
Subtracting 72 from 140 leaves us with 68.
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:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3310.319
If we take 648 away from 680, we end up 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.

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: 3310.3194
If we subtract 288 from 320, we 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3310.31944
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 quotient of the division is 3310.31944, and the remainder is 3.2e-05.
