We're dividing 424887 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 424887 can be divided 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
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 424 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 424 5 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 360 from 424 to get 64.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 648 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 648 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we take 648 away from 648, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 590.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5901.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 72 from 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5901.2
If we subtract 144 from 150, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5901.2
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 600 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5901.208
If we subtract 576 from 600, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5901.2083
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5901.20833
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5901.20833 with a balance of 2.4e-05.
