Let's divide 431220 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 431220.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 43 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 43 0 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 43, we get 43.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 431 / 72

On to step 3:
431 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 71.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 360 from 431.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 712 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 712 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 64.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtract 648 from 712 to get 64.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 642 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 642 8 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 598.0
Deduct 576 from 642 and we're left with 66.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 660 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 660 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5989.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 648 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 120 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5989.1
If we subtract 72 from 120, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5989.16
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5989.166
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5989.166 with a balance of 0.0048.
