Let's divide 546024 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 546024 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
54 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 546 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 546 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 504 from 546, we get 42.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 420 / 72

Step 4:
72 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 75.0
Deduct 360 from 420 and we're left with 60.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 602 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 602 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 758.0
If we take 576 away from 602, we end up with 26.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 264 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 264 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7583.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 216 from 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7583.6
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7583.66
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7583.66 and a remainder of 0.048.
