461665 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 461665 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 46 0 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 461 / 72

Step 3:
72 goes into 461 6 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 432 away from 461, we end up with 29.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 296 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 296 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 64.0
If we subtract 288 from 296, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 86 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 641.0
Subtract 72 from 86 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 145 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 145 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6412.0
If we take 144 away from 145, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6412.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
100 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6412.01
If we take 72 away from 100, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6412.013
If we take 216 away from 280, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6412.0138
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6412.01388
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6412.01388 with a remaining 6.4e-05.
