471239 ÷ 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 471239.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 471 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 471 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 432 from 471.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 392 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 392 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 65.0
Subtract 360 from 392 to get 32.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 323 / 72

Step 5:
72 goes into 323 4 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 654.0
Deduct 288 from 323 and we're left with 35.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 359 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 359 4 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6544.0
Subtract 288 from 359 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 710 9 times with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6544.9
Subtracting 648 from 710 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 72 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6544.98
Subtract 576 from 620 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 440 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6544.986
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6544.9861
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6544.98611
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6544.98611 with a remaining 8e-06.
