Let's divide 72481 by 2
We want to figure out the number of times 72481 can be divided by 2.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 2

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 12 by 2, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, we get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 362.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
2 goes into 8 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3624.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 1 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36240.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 10 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36240.5
Subtract 10 from 10 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36240.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36240.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 36240.5, and the remainder is 0.0.
