We're dividing 457834 by 72 
We want to divide 457834 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 45 / 72

On to step 2:
If we divide 45 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 45 and we're left with 45.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 457 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 457 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 432 from 457 to get 25.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 258 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 258 3 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtract 216 from 258 to get 42.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 423 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 423 5 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 635.0
Deduct 360 from 423 and we're left with 63.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 634 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
634 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6358.0
Deduct 576 from 634 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 580 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6358.8
Subtract 576 from 580 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6358.8
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6358.805
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6358.8055
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6358.8055, with a leftover of 0.0004.
