72048 divided by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 72048.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 72, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 72

On to step 3:
0 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 4 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 100.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1000.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1000.6
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1000.66
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 1000.66 with a remainder of 0.048.
