We look at the division of 479733 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 479733 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 479 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 479 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 432 from 479 to get 47.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 477 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 477 6 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 66.0
Subtracting 432 from 477 leaves us with 45.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 453 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 453 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 666.0
If we subtract 432 from 453, we get 21.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 213 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 213 2 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6662.0
If we subtract 144 from 213, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 690 9 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6662.9
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 648 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6662.95
Deduct 360 from 420 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6662.958
Subtract 576 from 600 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6662.9583
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6662.95833
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 6662.95833 with a remainder of 2.4e-05.
