We're dividing 463983 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 463983 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 46 0 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 0 from 46.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 463 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 463 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 31.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 432 from 463, we get 31.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 319 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 319 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 64.0
If we subtract 288 from 319, we get 31.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 318 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 318 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 644.0
If we subtract 288 from 318, we get 30.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 303 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 303 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6444.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 288 from 303.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6444.2
Subtract 144 from 150 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6444.2
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6444.208
If we subtract 576 from 600, we 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:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6444.2083
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6444.20833
Subtract 216 from 240 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.

Our division results in 6444.20833 with a remaining 2.4e-05.
