We're dividing 542328 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 542328 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 54, we end up with 54.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 542 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 542 7 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 504 away from 542, we end up with 38.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 383 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 383 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 75.0
Deduct 360 from 383 and we're left with 23.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 232 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 goes into 232 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 753.0
Subtracting 216 from 232 leaves us with 16.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 168 / 72

Step 6:
When dividing 168 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7532.0
If we subtract 144 from 168, we 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.

Step 7:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7532.3
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7532.33
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 7532.33 with a balance of 0.024.
