We divide 424968 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 424968.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 424 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 424 5 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 360 from 424 to get 64.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 649 / 72

On to step 4:
72 goes into 649 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtracting 648 from 649 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 590.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 168 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 168 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5902.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 144 from 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5902.3
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5902.33
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us 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.

The final result is 5902.33 with a remainder of 0.024.
