Let's divide 442787 by 72
Our goal is to divide 442787 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 72

On to step 2:
If we divide 44 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 44.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 44, we end up with 44.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 442 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 442 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 432 from 442, we get 10.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 107 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we take 72 away from 107, we end up with 35.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 358 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 358 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 614.0
Subtracting 288 from 358 leaves us with 70.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 707 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 can be fit into 707 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6149.0
Subtracting 648 from 707 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 590 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6149.8
Deduct 576 from 590 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 140 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6149.81
Subtract 72 from 140 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6149.819
Subtracting 648 from 680 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6149.8194
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6149.81944
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6149.81944, and the remainder is 3.2e-05.
