948472 divided by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 948472.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 94 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 94 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 94 leaves us with 22.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 228 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 228 3 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 216 from 228, we get 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 72

On to step 4:
72 can be fit into 124 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 131.0
Subtracting 72 from 124 leaves us with 52.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 527 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 527 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1317.0
If we subtract 504 from 527, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 232 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 232 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13173.0
Deduct 216 from 232 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13173.2
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.

Step 8:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13173.22
Subtract 144 from 160 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 13173.22, and the remainder is 0.016.
