We're dividing 448727 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 448727.

Moving on 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
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 72

Step 2:
If we divide 44 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 44.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 44, we get 44.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 448 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 goes into 448 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 432 away from 448, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 167 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtract 144 from 167 to get 23.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 232 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 232 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 623.0
Deduct 216 from 232 and we're left with 16.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
167 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6232.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 144 from 167.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 230 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6232.3
Subtracting 216 from 230 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6232.31
Subtract 72 from 140 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6232.319
If we take 648 away from 680, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6232.3194
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6232.31944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6232.31944 with a balance of 3.2e-05.
