Let's divide 372417 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 372417.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 37 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 37, we end up with 37.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 372 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 can be fit into 372 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 360 away from 372, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 124 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 124 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 52.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we take 72 away from 124, we end up with 52.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 521 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 521 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 517.0
If we subtract 504 from 521, we get 17.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 177 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 177 2 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5172.0
If we subtract 144 from 177, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
330 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5172.4
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 288 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
420 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5172.45
If we take 360 away from 420, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5172.458
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 576 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5172.4583
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5172.45833
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5172.45833 and a remainder of 2.4e-05.
