We divide 402759 by 72
Our goal is to divide 402759 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 72 is 0 with 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 (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 402 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 402 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 360 from 402.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 427 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
427 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtracting 360 from 427 leaves us with 67.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 67, then repeat: 675 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 675 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 559.0
Subtracting 648 from 675 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 72

Step 6:
72 can be fit into 279 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5593.0
Subtract 216 from 279 to get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 630 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5593.8
If we subtract 576 from 630, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5593.87
If we take 504 away from 540, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5593.875
Deduct 360 from 360 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 0 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5593.875
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 72 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5593.875
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 5593.875 with a remainder of 0.0.
