Let's divide 534481 by 72
Our goal is to divide 534481 by 72.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 72

On to step 2:
When dividing 53 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 53 and we're left with 53.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 534 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 534 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 504 from 534 and we're left with 30.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 304 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
304 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
Deduct 288 from 304 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 168 / 72

On to step 5:
168 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 742.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 144 from 168.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 241 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 241 3 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7423.0
Deduct 216 from 241 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 250 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7423.3
Subtract 216 from 250 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 340 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7423.34
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 288 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 520 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7423.347
Subtracting 504 from 520 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7423.3472
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7423.34722
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7423.34722 and a remainder of 1.6e-05.
