We're dividing 461671 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 461671 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 46 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 46.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 46 to get 46.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 461 / 72

Step 3:
The number 72 fits into 461 6 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 432 from 461 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 296 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 296 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
If we subtract 288 from 296, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
87 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 641.0
Deduct 72 from 87 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 151 / 72

On to step 6:
151 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 7.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6412.0
Subtracting 144 from 151 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 70 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6412.0
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 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:
The number 72 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6412.09
If we subtract 648 from 700, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
520 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6412.097
Deduct 504 from 520 and we're left with 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 10:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6412.0972
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 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 11:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6412.09722
Subtract 144 from 160 to 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.

The final outcome is 6412.09722, with a leftover of 1.6e-05.
