We divide 459903 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 459903.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 45 0 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 45, we get 45.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 459 / 72

Step 3:
72 goes into 459 6 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 432 from 459 to get 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 279 3 times with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtracting 216 from 279 leaves us with 63.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 630 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 630 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 54.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 638.0
If we take 576 away from 630, we end up with 54.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 543 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 543 7 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6387.0
Subtracting 504 from 543 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
390 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6387.5
Subtracting 360 from 390 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
300 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6387.54
Deduct 288 from 300 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6387.541
Subtracting 72 from 120 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6387.5416
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6387.54166
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.

Our division results in 6387.54166 with a remaining 4.8e-05.
