We divide 402711 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 402711 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
4 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving 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.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 402 / 72

Step 3:
402 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 360 from 402 leaves us with 42.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 427 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 427 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 67.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 360 from 427.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 67, then repeat: 671 / 72

On to step 5:
671 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 559.0
If we take 648 away from 671, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 231 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 231 3 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5593.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 216 from 231.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
150 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5593.2
Subtract 144 from 150 to get 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 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5593.2
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 600 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5593.208
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 576 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5593.2083
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5593.20833
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5593.20833 and a remainder of 2.4e-05.
