We look at the division of 10479 by 72 
We want to divide 10479 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 104 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 104 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 104 and we're left with 32.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 327 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 327 4 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 288 away from 327, we end up with 39.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 399 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
399 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 145.0
Subtracting 360 from 399 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 390 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 145.5
Subtract 360 from 390 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 145.54
Subtracting 288 from 300 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
120 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 145.541
If we take 72 away from 120, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 145.5416
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 145.54166
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 145.54166 with a remaining 4.8e-05.
