474259 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 474259 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
47 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 47 leaves us with 47.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 474 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 474 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 432 from 474.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 422 / 72

Step 4:
72 can be fit into 422 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 65.0
Subtract 360 from 422 to get 62.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 625 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 625 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 658.0
Subtract 576 from 625 to get 49.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 499 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 499 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 67.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6586.0
If we take 432 away from 499, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 670 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6586.9
Deduct 648 from 670 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6586.93
Deduct 216 from 220 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6586.93
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6586.9305
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6586.93055
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6586.93055 with a balance of 4e-05.
