417784 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 417784 by 72.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 41 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
41 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 41.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 41, we end up with 41.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 417 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 417 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 360 from 417.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 577 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 577 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we subtract 576 from 577, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 580.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 184 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 184 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5802.0
Subtract 144 from 184 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5802.5
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.

Step 8:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5802.55
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
