We divide 478728 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 478728.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in 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 (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 goes into 478 6 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 432 from 478 leaves us with 46.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 467 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
467 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 35.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 66.0
If we take 432 away from 467, we end up with 35.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 352 / 72

On to step 5:
72 goes into 352 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 664.0
If we subtract 288 from 352, we get 64.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 648 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 648 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6649.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 648 from 648.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6649.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
0 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6649.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6649.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
