196643 divided by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 196643.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
19 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 19 and we're left with 19.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 196 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
196 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 144 from 196 and we're left with 52.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 526 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
526 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 504 from 526 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 224 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 224 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 273.0
Subtracting 216 from 224 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 83 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
83 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2731.0
If we subtract 72 from 83, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2731.1
Subtracting 72 from 110 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2731.15
If we take 360 away from 380, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2731.152
If we take 144 away from 200, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2731.1527
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2731.15277
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final result is 2731.15277 with a remainder of 5.6e-05.
