We divide 462505 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 462505.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 46, we get 46.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 462 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
462 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 432 from 462 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 305 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 305 4 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Subtracting 288 from 305 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 170 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
170 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 642.0
Subtract 144 from 170 to get 26.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 265 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 goes into 265 3 times with a remainder of 49.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6423.0
If we subtract 216 from 265, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6423.6
Deduct 432 from 490 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6423.68
If we take 576 away from 580, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6423.68
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6423.6805
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.

On to step 11:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6423.68055
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.

The final result is 6423.68055 with a remainder of 4e-05.
