We look at the division of 397465 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 397465 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 39 0 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 39, we get 39.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 397 / 72

Step 3:
72 goes into 397 5 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 360 from 397, we get 37.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 374 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 374 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 360 from 374.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 146 / 72

On to step 5:
146 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 552.0
Subtracting 144 from 146 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5520.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 250 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5520.3
Deduct 216 from 250 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
340 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5520.34
Subtracting 288 from 340 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5520.347
If we take 504 away from 520, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5520.3472
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5520.34722
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5520.34722 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
