236875 divided by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 236875.

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

Step 2:
If we divide 23 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 236 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 236 3 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 216 from 236.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 208 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 144 from 208 to get 64.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 647 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 647 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 71.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 328.0
Subtract 576 from 647 to get 71.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 715 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 715 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 67.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3289.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 648 from 715.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 670 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3289.9
Subtract 648 from 670 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3289.93
Deduct 216 from 220 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
40 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3289.93
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3289.9305
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3289.93055
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3289.93055 with a balance of 4e-05.
