Let's divide 455959 by 72
We want to divide 455959 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 45 0 times with a remainder of 45.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 45 and we're left with 45.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 455 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 can be fit into 455 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 432 from 455, we get 23.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 239 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 239 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 63.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 216 from 239.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 235 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 235 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 633.0
Subtracting 216 from 235 leaves us with 19.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 199 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 199 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6332.0
If we take 144 away from 199, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 550 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6332.7
Deduct 504 from 550 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
460 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6332.76
Subtracting 432 from 460 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6332.763
Subtracting 216 from 280 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6332.7638
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6332.76388
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final result is 6332.76388 with a remainder of 6.4e-05.
