Let's divide 412279 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 412279 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 4 0 times, leaving 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.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 41 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
41 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 41.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 41 to get 41.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 412 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 412 5 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 360 away from 412, we end up with 52.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 522 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 goes into 522 7 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 504 from 522, we get 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 187 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 572.0
If we take 144 away from 187, we end up with 43.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 439 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 439 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5726.0
Subtracting 432 from 439 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5726.0
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 52.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5726.09
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 648 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
520 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5726.097
If we subtract 504 from 520, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5726.0972
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5726.09722
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5726.09722 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
