542435 divided by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 542435.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 72

Step 2:
72 can be fit into 54 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 54, we end up with 54.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 542 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 542 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 504 from 542 leaves us with 38.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 384 / 72

Step 4:
72 goes into 384 5 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtracting 360 from 384 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 243 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 243 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 753.0
Subtracting 216 from 243 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 275 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 can be fit into 275 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7533.0
Subtract 216 from 275 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 590 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7533.8
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 576 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 68.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7533.81
Subtracting 72 from 140 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 680 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7533.819
If we subtract 648 from 680, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7533.8194
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 11:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7533.81944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 7533.81944 with a remainder of 3.2e-05.
