Let's divide 160980 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 160980.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
16 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 160 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 169 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we subtract 144 from 169, we get 25.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 258 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
258 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 223.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 216 from 258.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 420 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
420 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2235.0
If we take 360 away from 420, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
600 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2235.8
Subtract 576 from 600 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2235.83
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2235.833
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 2235.833 with a remainder of 0.0024.
