We look at the division of 409587 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 409587 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 409 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 409 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 360 from 409 leaves us with 49.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 495 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 goes into 495 6 times with a remainder of 63.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 432 from 495.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 638 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 638 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 568.0
Subtracting 576 from 638 leaves us with 62.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 627 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 627 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5688.0
If we take 576 away from 627, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 goes into 510 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5688.7
Subtracting 504 from 510 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5688.7
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.

Advancing 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: 5688.708
Deduct 576 from 600 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.

On to step 10:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5688.7083
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5688.70833
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 5688.70833, with a leftover of 2.4e-05.
