Let's divide 604042 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 604042.

On to step 1:
6 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 604 / 72

Step 3:
The number 72 fits into 604 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 576 from 604 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 280 / 72

Step 4:
72 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 83.0
If we subtract 216 from 280, we get 64.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 644 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 644 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 838.0
If we take 576 away from 644, we end up with 68.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 682 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 682 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8389.0
If we subtract 648 from 682, we 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 7:
72 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8389.4
Deduct 288 from 340 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
520 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8389.47
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 504 from 520.
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 9:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8389.472
Subtracting 144 from 160 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8389.4722
Subtracting 144 from 160 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8389.4722 with a balance of 0.00016.
