We're dividing 466687 by 72 
We want to divide 466687 by 72.

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
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 46 0 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 46 and we're left with 46.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 466 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 466 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 432 away from 466, we end up with 34.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 346 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 can be fit into 346 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 64.0
If we take 288 away from 346, we end up with 58.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 588 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 588 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 648.0
Subtracting 576 from 588 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 127 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 127 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 55.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6481.0
If we take 72 away from 127, 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.

Step 7:
550 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 46.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6481.7
If we take 504 away from 550, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
460 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6481.76
If we subtract 432 from 460, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 64.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6481.763
Subtract 216 from 280 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 640 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6481.7638
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.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6481.76388
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 576 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6481.76388 with a balance of 6.4e-05.
