454831 divided by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 454831.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 45 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 45 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 45 and we're left with 45.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 454 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 454 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 432 from 454.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 228 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
228 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtracting 216 from 228 leaves us with 12.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 123 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 123 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 631.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 72 from 123.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 511 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 511 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6317.0
If we take 504 away from 511, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
70 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6317.0
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6317.09
If we take 648 away from 700, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
72 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6317.097
If we subtract 504 from 520, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6317.0972
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 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 11:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6317.09722
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left 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 6317.09722 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
