Let's divide 614479 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 614479.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 61 / 72

On to step 2:
72 can be fit into 61 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 61, we end up with 61.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 614 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
614 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 576 from 614 leaves us with 38.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 384 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 384 5 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Deduct 360 from 384 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 247 / 72

On to step 5:
72 can be fit into 247 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 853.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 216 from 247.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 319 / 72

Step 6:
72 can be fit into 319 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8534.0
Deduct 288 from 319 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 310 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8534.4
Subtracting 288 from 310 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 72 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8534.43
Subtract 216 from 220 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8534.43
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Step 10:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8534.4305
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8534.43055
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.

After the division, we end up with 8534.43055 and a remainder of 4e-05.
