We divide 47427 by 72
We want to divide 47427 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 72

On to step 2:
72 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 47 leaves us with 47.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 474 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 474 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 432 from 474.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 422 / 72

On to step 4:
72 can be fit into 422 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 65.0
Subtract 360 from 422 to get 62.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 627 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 627 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 51.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 658.0
Subtracting 576 from 627 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 510 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 658.7
If we subtract 504 from 510, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 658.7
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
600 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 658.708
If we take 576 away from 600, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 658.7083
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.

Step 10:
If we divide 240 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 658.70833
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 658.70833, and the remainder is 2.4e-05.
